A mass mail smooch post.

Busy getting "A" into hospital for cervical spinal surgery:  We can see he's
already partially paralyzed and deeply hurting.

Other pressing personal matters too, which many know all too well.

I want to thank everyone local for rallying to "A" and giving so generously
your love, support, time, and energy in the last few days.  You inspire and
empower me, give me great joy, and the infinite blessings of friendship.

To my unique, varied, and worldwide friends on CPL you know I wouldn't be
here without your compassion, concern, encouragement, and special touches.

Hugs,

ISM
