Afternoon here, Charlie. We are surprisingly isolated here, so it was an honor for us to entertain Mudcat's Leadfingers yesterday- our first face-to-face meeting after years of friendship. Suddenly we are not so alone in our hardship as it had seemed.

Perhaps one day you will meet some of the friends who have gather about you here. Until then remember that, in the isolation of such illness, you are indeed surrounded by friends, and the light that love generates.
