For some time, I had been meaning to answer my readers questions.

I’d even made some audio recordings and done some interviews when I was convalescing with my broken foot last Christmas. But where to post them? And oh the time it takes to edit!

So . . . I decided just just go ahead and put my face on YouTube, something I don’t really find appealing.

Here I am at my desk, where I type or dictate.

Lighting design by Mr. Pennington. He also painted the backdrop for my goldfish.

I get asked the same questions over and over, which makes sense as we are having the same life experience.

So rather than just type a one line email response, which really isn’t enough, I’m going to try to answer these questions, thoroughly and properly, here.

Besides, if I had stumbled on a blog like this, I would want to see and hear the person who wrote it. I would wonder if you really got that much better.

Yes I did.
