Hi Sam, I was wondering about you, hadn't seen one of your substack articles for many days until today. Thanks to you, I've got lots of reading to do now :-)

On 3/26, I underwent a TAVR procedure for Aortic Heart Valve replacement. It appears to have been successful; my in-depth follow-up is next week. However, it has given me pause to reflect on my priorities. Certainly, this newsletter is one of them. The germane question is am I making any impact? Plus, I had an incipient personal relationship that started to develop during the last month that has just fallen by the wayside. SO, I’ve had much to think about other than world affairs.

Glad to hear your surgery was successful, Samuel. I was worried about you. Sad to hear about the personal relationship falling. I think it's good for all of us to get off this crazy merry-go-round every once in a while, regardless of the reason to do it. I'll be travelling to the states soon to visit family and friends and won't be spending much time reading and researching. I definitely need to clear my head out!
