Hooray! Welcome!

Same.

I was with you all the way up to that last parenthetical remark. Beaches are awesome. Glad you are here.

So don’t give up hope. Do not despair. That is what they want, and we shall not give them that satisfaction. In Japanese, there is a word my mother used to say to me.

“Gaman, Georgie,” she’d say. It means to endure with fortitude and dignity. We all could benefit the spirit of Gaman. /5

If they continue on this trajectory in the coming months, they will be a strong contender come March.

Yay! I think they will like this even more than Threads. Hopefully Nancy will join, too.

So glad you are back.
