Many people are allergic to sucrose and do not know it. Refined sucrose is even worse (that is the

white stuff than can be granulated and made to look so pure.) It is everywhere. If you can use

raw sugar a.k.a. turbinado in your kitchen, it is better; and, of course, minimize your intake of it.

. I tell you all this in response to your complaint about feeling sickly after your delightful fun

weekend. I lived through the misery too long and want you to avoid it, dear Clint.

Thanks for the head’s up, Sam. I’ve been tested and am allegedly okay with sugar (though my waistline is definitely “inflammed”). But LA pollens? That’s a whole nother story. Moving soon, so the dust bunnies I’m finding while packing aren’t helping either. Cheers!

Thanks again Clint, on Ian Fleming's birthday. The name of Cubby and the Broccolis production company was and is EON, for everything or nothing. It must have been in 2008 when they did all those programs for his 100th.

Such a diva. Such a dramatic, sparkly rendition. I’ll be using this to “lip sync for my LIFE!” Thanks, Doug!

Like I've said before I have such an eclective and electric taste in music, art, when I see something I like then I like it no matter the source of it. Like that lil short of the lad on his lunch break away from MI5/CIA before he gets his next assignment 😎😁😲

And last but not least(?) apparently in the mists of time the Tango was ment to be danced by male couples.

Would like to learn how to do this…perhaps to a tango version of “I Want To Dance With Somebody.” I’m all about a good mashup!

Thanks, Ray. I did indeed listen. And I do indeed feel better today. Hurray!

I don't know what my role is in relation to you. Friend, uncle, guide, advisor, guru, healer? One of my guides says "Kinship. Mutual support. Karmic purpose. Kindred." My guides rarely say much to me and what they say feels vague or ambiguous.

I am glad that you are feeling better. Abandon struggle, feel joy. (It's not how I see Americans)

If it’s any consolation, I don’t know either, dear Ray. But I don’t spend a lot of time noodling or worrying about it. All I know is I count myself very lucky to know you even a little. You’re a joy and delight. And btw…HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! I believe you blew out some candles very recently? To another revolution around the sun, Dr. Lightbown!

Of course a label doesn't matter. I am glad to have you in my world.

Yes, I was 78 on Thursday 29th. Many messages and greetings but no celebration. Today a young man (He regards me as a father-figure, as well as his mentor, so I could say he is my "son" and student) is taking me out to dinner tonight. He will be 31 next week so I will return the honour of a birthday dinner next weekend.

The feelings are mutual, dear Ray. Hope your bday dinner was delightful and delovely. My regards to you and your protege. I celebrate both of you. 🌈🤗❤️✌️
