I think I found DU around 2004. I was a lurker, but I couldn't go to bed without checking in. Come to think of it, I still get my work done and then I get to come here and enjoy the conversation and community. I lost my login to my first account, but my user name was about the same. I was usually too tired to comment much – until after retiring in 2011.

Your voice is one I always enjoy, even when I don't comment. I'm sorry to hear about the foot and the boredom.

Get better soon, please. Hope you and all of us are dancing before long.
