Great news. I knew something had seriously gone wrong and was dismayed none of your friends posted an update whenever I checked.

I am glad to see you have recovered sufficiently to resume being yourself again though I suspect at a slower pace. In my hunt I was surprised to realize you had to be at least in your early 70's which likely explained why an extended weekend in the hospital turned into (then) two weeks of silence. To find out you are reaching 80 in days speaks well of your physical appearance and explains how you can publish 3 articles a day plus edit a major and contemporary book on the Ukraine situation.

Hope you have many more years of kicking neocon ass!
