Always good to hear from you, Sergey. I just got home a few days ago from a week in the hospital, battling a bout of sepsis, which nearly did me in. I have another surgical procedure scheduled for the 12th of May, and if I survive it, I promise to come back to the site and post more often. The docs said I should be prepared to spend at least 2 to 5 days in the hospital recovering before returning home. (Keeping my fingers crossed) If you don't see me here two weeks after the surgery, well, it has been my distinct pleasure knowing everyone here for these many, many decades.

All the best,

Gary
