Mending

Sorry to have been so neglectful here. I’m recovering normally, but am still supposed to keep use of my right arm to a minimum for another week or two, and am living in a sling. Typing is slow and uncomfortable.

Meanwhile the lovely Nina had surgery yesterday to remove a basal-cell carcinoma from the bridge of her nose, which required a large and painful incision and many sutures. So we are both a little under the weather; our small apartment in Brooklyn, where we are stuck for a few weeks, is like a hospital ward.

I’ll get back to writing ere long. (God knows, there’s a lot to comment on!) I may also have a new essay up soon at American Greatness; I will post a link if that happens.

Meanwhile, keep your peckers up. These are grim times — and with yesterday’s news about the Trumps having tested positive for the Wuhan Red Death, they may get very much grimmer indeed — but we must keep buggering on.

Thanks very much to those who have written me over the past couple of weeks. Back soon.

    I must have failed to see the post the other day. My prayers for Nina’s speedy healing, and complete recovery.

    Hi Malcolm and Nina,
    I was in Prospect Park this afternoon and Donna Chalfin recognized me! She was out with a beautiful 2 1/2 year old boy named Mateo — her grandson — Brett’s son! But you probably know that . . .
    Anyway, it made me think of you guys. For the last 4 years, I have been doing Nichiren Buddhist chanting so I will chant for both of you and the children, too. I have a new phone number: 917-536-3720. Hope to hear from you one of these days. Be well. Love, Betty
