Thank you so much, Bug, and my apologies for this very late acknowledgement. The honor that you, one of the most celebrated members of this forum yourself, have done me merited much more responsive alacrity on my part.
My 28-year-old self would have been astonished to know that within the next doubling of my life span I would have met and married the love of my life and then lost her to cancer and raised two children from diapers to adulthood. And coming out of it not feeling a whole lot different mentally nor physically, retaining all of my hair and (most of) my original teeth.
