The poster formerly known as AvhHines is now Oy!. I know that almost no one will notice (it’s not like I’m well-known), but just in case.
That is all. 
Yiddish inspiration or the dog-like character from the Dark-Tower series by Stephen King?
I’m know who you are – but not how you are. How are you? When are we going to have lunch again?
Both! How clever of you!
I’m doing okay, but it has not been one of the better years for me or any of the people around me. For some it’s been big things, for me a series of smaller things, but I’d have to say that all in all it’s been one of the most difficult years of my life. My work load is still very high, and I’m still nursing an inflamed tendon in my foot, so quite honestly I’m not in the market for a lot of socializing these days. But I see you posting and think of you and smile. You have not been forgotten!
Someday, when my life is a bit more normal, I will definitely contact you!
