No, no, not "how _you_ doin’ " – just, how’s it going with, yanno, your mom and everything? ---

I was thinking of starting this very thread, especially after the reappearance of **Master Wang-Ka**. **Sampiro** –what she said. How are things going for you? ---

Hi- Thanks for asking, but unfortunately I don’t have time to go into great detail, so I’ll just say that all factors considered my mother’s okay and the family drama is pharaonic in scale. Quite literally. There was an incident that involved a 2,800 year old mummy that led to a screaming match (totally serious) and hysterical deafness (again, not an exaggeration) and both were strangely related to my mother’s cancer. I may not post it here but I’ll be glad to send it out on email in the near future. ---

I’m glad to see your sense of humor is still intact, and I’ll be looking forward to an e-mail if you don’t want to post the details here. We miss you, and you and your family are in our thoughts. ---

**Sampiro** I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I love you. Really. I know we haven’t met but I love you. Hope everything is as good as it can be with your family situation. And yes, I’d love to be on that e-mail list if you decide to write about it. Best wishes. ---

**Sampiro** , I too would love to hear your tale. I/we want you to know how much love and support you have here. I know we are only a bit more real than those that people one’s dreams, but collectively, we hope, we bring a bit of comfort. ---

**Sampiro** , first, I say with all seriousness, I am concerned for what’s going on. I’d love to hear the story. I’m also willing to be a sounding board if need be, being as I am a fellow southerner and understand the southerness of stuff and all. That being said, since I’m also gay. If it’ll help… then… How _you_ doin’? 😉 ---
