They let me out of the ICU Sunday and let me come home this morning. I’m pretty tired. More later maybe. Thanks for the kind thoughts. ---

… wait, I thought Skald ran the Illuminati, behind their backs as it were? Does he have one of his unwitting minions impersonating him? I am flopping around! This is too much for my pickled brain! ---
