Hey Denise.
I had a feeling that if I checked in with you, I'd find Christmas well underway. 😅

Me too, and I just dropped a whole bunch of them ... long-winded by even my standards. First post in more than 2 years.

I gave thanks, but now it is done, time to break out the peppermint schnapps I've missed those words, well, most of them. Shhhh! Whoever called you long-winded?
Not I! Okay, but. only to your face. 😇
First post in more than two years? I'm glad that you decided to keep a hand in it, you just never know. Always good to hear from you! How are Katie and Caleb? I've missed so much! You never update!
I'm running over to see what you have!
Hey Denise.
BTW, $1.76 for a comment! I never thought I'd say this to a woman but ... you're starting to look like a ... whale! And ... it's a good look!!! 😅
Katie and Kaleb are both doing well. They're about two weeks away from finishing the 1st semester of their third year. It's hard to even grasp ... things are moving so fast. Katie has developed a hankering for Latin and so hardly a day goes by where she doesn't text me, "Did you know that the English word, XXX, is derived from the Latin word, YYY?" At first I did. I don't anymore. Katie's angling for summer lab work with her pathological microbes professor ... and the job even pays pretty well. I made an off-hand remark about her doing some gain of function research -- apparently that's not funny these days and, if I'm to vist her on campus, I need to learn to check my sense of humor.
What are the chances?
Kaleb is building rockets. His team was having problems with the ignition system so I provided some ideas. Apparently, I'm "Mr. Risky."
Aaudaces Fortuna Iuvat ... Fortune Favors The Bold.
I'm sure Katie would take exception with my translation.

Actually, mine is worth $4.25 now, but, I am at 45% power (MarketFriday sucked me dry!) so you get the baby vote. I made up for it by giving you a tipu with over $11 vote. :) Alas, I am bigger than you remember.
Le sigh.
Sounds like they are doing fabulous. Time does fly, mine are over and done with school and I keep waiting to do the triple rounds of back-to-school drop-offs in three different states, three different parts of the country and then I remember they are done, with only one in medical school (my son's wife) and one will be doing a Ph.D. program next year. I don't have to worry about the medical school, my son pays for it and she only has one year left. Latin is my daughter Sarah's favorite. The Catholic school made them all take four years and she took it in college for fun. What is wrong with these children/young adults? Katie would take exception to your translation. :)
Seems like she is excelling in everything she touches. That is so awesome and I had little doubt. :) It is always good to hear from you. I wanted to ask how you are doing/what you are doing on social media? Want me to shill this for you? :)
$4.25!!! Geez, I'm going to have to start addressing you as Madam!
Funfact (that no one but people like you and I appreciate): "Madam" is derived from the French, "Madame." "Monsieur" and "Madame" are stylized versions of the honorifics, "Mon Sieur" and "Ma Dame" ... in English, "My Lord" and "My Lady.")
Don't let it go to your head, Wigle! Err ... My Lady.
I was deliberately vague in my post about my plan as, well ... good ideas have a way of getting poached.
Voice 2.0 ... I've moved on. Ideology is driving everything and HQ seem to have little desire to appeal to anyone but the wokesters. Two years utterly wasted. Anyway, I'm waiting for a development on one of The Great Powers (very soon) before I launch as I don't want to have to compete for attention. In the meantime, I'm going to ramp up my Hive presence as I expect Hive will play an integral part of the plan.
When launch day comes, I will expect you to shill like your life depends upon it. (Just Googled "shill." Apparently, no one knows where the word originates. Huh.)

Ha! Madame has just seen this. I'll answer tomorrow.,
