Hello, Dave. I'm glad you are okay.

A few years ago, I was in Scotland, and I asked a bartender what Scotch would make a good gift to thank the friend who was cat sitting for us. He recommended Famous Grouse, so we bought a bottle for the friend and one for us. It was excellent. I should have known it would be therapeutic.

Everyone, the next time you see someone who's absorbed in the phone and might collide with you, shout "Hello!" and get their attention in good time. Too often we overlook the value of shouting.
