Glad to see you are still awake!

Well, actually I have been offline and off duty for a few hours-- in my guise as "Mother," I catch 4 to 7 hours of sleep before either the old dog or the younger wife noses me awake to need something. In that other life I led long ago, I learned combat sleep, and can get by indefinitely on just a few hours as long as I can drop into a trance for a few times a day.

Life is full of ironies... I am the oldest and hardest-used member of my surviving family, with the exception of my mother-in-law, and I always thought I'd be the first to start falling apart at the seams- but instead, the very opposite has occurred. Everyone else is falling prey to various aliments, injuries, or maladies, and I stand watch, and keep on keeping on...

I hope you keep on keeping on and in good health, it's marvelous what 20 minutes shut-eye can do for one, a trick I learned from an ex-spouse who was also a night-owl.

Your previous reply to me, yes, executioner, fits. We cannot allow them to get away with this.
