Abe, I can't say that your hopes and imaginings justified your emphatic
pronouncement that I have "BIG problems". My body temperature must
have risen, or I'd not have broken into a sweat momentarily upon
reading your words. But now the sweat is evaporating and I'm
experiencing a chill worse than that which I normally experience
indoors in a 46 degree F atmosphere. All in all, I wish I had not read
any of your words on this matter. Nonetheless, I wish you greater
success in your future postings.
