I'm still alive, of course. In case any of you internet denizens were worried about me, which I entirely doubt was the case. We're all so disconnected in this time, it's worse than the day of the telephone. At least in that time you could hear a person's very voice. What we've got now is a facsimile of our words with no inflection or context. It makes for a very tough time to connect on a deeply personal level.
I propose a solution to this circumstance. I implore the masses of our fine board to go out this week and speak to a stranger.
