Subject: Explanation
Dear Subscribers,
I was hoping that I could quietly be out of commission and return without any fuss. Unfortunately, that was not the case, so let me offer an explanation and plead that if you are so inclined to hold off sending me any messages about this matter.
On Thursday, May 12, I had a rather complex surgery with two surgeons on my right foot. Although the procedure was to my mind amazing, out of good taste, I spare you the details. I spent the night and the next day in the hospital. I was told I could put no weight on my foot, so I spent the time from Friday until yesterday in the lower level of my house in my zero gravity chair with my foot elevated above my heart. Yesterday, I saw both surgeons who gave me permission occasionally to climb stair so I could finally get to my computer.
There were also some issues with Google Domains, but I think we have solved those problems now.
I am back until June 9 when I fly to England for a week again, that is, depending on whether I will require another minor surgery to complete the job.
To save my energy in constructing the Newsletter and your energy in reading that Newsletter, I will distribute the announcements today and the other submissions tomorrow.
