So here it is 2022, time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

I'm in remission from cancer discovered late 2021 and treated with chemo, a delight if you like crappy side effects but who's to compain, it's got me in remission from a colon cancer which had metastasized to a lung before it was discovered but my Turkish Delight Dr. Soley [Bayraktar] has beaten it back with metabolic poisons for which I am undyingly [at least for now] grateful.

and 2day I received "Kermesse 28: from JeanFi of Belgium and find it a wealth of amusement and useful information. F'rinstance: Who knew that one should be hoarding Sriracha sauce due to a hot pepper shortage or that it lists the ugliest cities in the world.

 I for one will continue corresponding with JeanFi in hopes that I will receive more issues.

Also: our wheelchair accessible, doublewide, new home nears completion in our front yard and we expect to move in by EOY'22.

and just for laughs and good vibes here's wishing everyone reading this good health, happiness and the least possible harm from Shakespearean daemonry including but not limited to:imps, gytrashes, patches, hob-and-lanthorns, gringes, boguests, bonelesses, Peg-prowlers, pucks, fays, kidnappers, gallybeggars, hudskins, nickers, madcaps, trolls, robinets, friars' lanthorns, silkies, cauld-lads, death-hearses, goblins, hob-headlesses, bugaboos, kows, nickies, nacks, waiths, miffies, buckies, ghouls, sylphs, guests, swarths, freiths, freits, gy-carlins [Gyre-carling], pigmies, chittifaces, nixies, Jinny-burnt-tails, dudmen, hell-hounds, dopple-gangers, boggleboes, bogies and flaming mudflaps, Y'r ol' Bud,     Fike

Thanks KS. I see so much good in people since my medical misfortune, it's almost enough to restore my faith in and hope for humanity!

Happy to see your fighting the good fight against the imps still.
