CarolC, glad to see (hear?)you're "OK". I always appreciate your thoughtful, passionate, fair and reasoned responses to topics--though as a somewhat cynical scarred veteran of life (of 60 years) I don't always agree with you.
I've always been able to sense people's moods and nuances of meaning from the sound of their voices---but your writing is so clear and meaningful, that I feel the same way about YOUR writing.
Good to hear from you.
