Thank you for the invitation, Mike. As usual, I want to “ponder for a bit”. I just turned 86, which seems to me as though I’m not just “a few days older than I was” but as though I’ve “turned a major corner in my life”—as though this is a “sea change”. I had bought a new journal for this year, but I haven’t yet been writing in it. I’m wondering “what’s holding me up?”/”what’s holding me back?”
