banned for taking a break - that's not allowed. I am bummed (not bumbed!!
) also that Earnest is gone - it does feel weird not to see his wittiness - but so many have left (albeit in different circumstances) that I just am kind of rolling with it. And also, since my companions are some of them in their 80s it seems that I lose people every month, so if I took a break I'd always be in bed with the covers over my head. Hope you'll stick around and keep me company! Not fair to abandon me while I try to keep upper lip stiff!
