I love the idea of it, and not sure again if I replied (long covid weirds
memory), as I mentioned, I'm very close to someone who's living near the
border w/ Lebanon, and I worry about him; I'm also dealing w/ long covid
which certainly leads to tears, etc. etc. Hard times and again apologies -
I understand the work, am amazed by the series, this one just hit me
weirdly - now by the way upset as well over the massive flooding in
Asheville, North Carolina - know people there, and taught a semester at
UNCA (U. N. C. Asheville) -
