Lothar, have you been keeping it warm? Because we have talked about this, you and I. Unless you change your ways, I am not giving you back your missing vowel.

The last time I was here was a bit before Trump was reelected. In the meantime, I've been to London three times, San Diego once (what a nice city!) and I recently changed jobs. Oh, and I took up trapeze. Quite seriously. I've had a dog die which was sad, my 97 year old grandmother checked out a few weeks ago, and I think you guys know the story about my hitherto unknown half-brother who popped up after my dad passed away.

Neilencio and I speak at least once a week. I had an email exchange with Mxy last week and asked him if he wrote The Kryptonite Spectrum, which was brilliant Silver Age goofiness, but he denies it. I see Rob irregularly on LinkedIn. Watsonwil I see occasionally on Instagram.

That's it. See you in two years.

Actually, no, I'll check in more regularly I think.
