I will be here but Mom doesn't need any help.   She is wired, as you know, into a complex network of servomechanisms, routers, relays, oscillators, capacitative devices and Schottke schlockers that enable her to read real time every one-millionth of a second anywhere in the world by observing the rate of decay in ultraviolet radiation from a first-magnitude bluish-white giant of spectral class B2 III somewhere out in the region of Orion. Everybody knows that!!
