Dear All, I I hope you are well.

Dear All, I There has been a long pause between window 89 and window 90 which you are reading.

Hi Everyone, Late again! Walking out of a lecture this afternoon, two wonderful friends commented casually “don’t let being late put pressure on you!” I thought that was great advice, particularly if I want to keep these windows going. So, I am not going to apologize for being late this time. And, I have exciting [...]
