Dear Nikola,
Thank you for your inquiry. Lots of aches and pains, but I'm functioning, and in that perspective, I'm well. Yesterday I jotted down the first 82 lines of a play with the tentative title Erdenrettung, (Earthrescue) a prospective companion to the play Kroetenrettung (Toadrescue) which I wrote a few months ago. Erdenrettung opens with a scene on snowy Olympus. The three muses, Melpomene, Euterpe, and Erato, who had strayed to earth and married humans, are returning home with backpacks and suitcases, for the reason that they have been denied dual citizenship and have been expelled from earth for refusing to surrender their Olympian passports. The next scene will be a conference of the Olympians deciding what to do about the mess on earth, a conference which is a parody of the introductory conference of the Odyssey, where the same question is discussed, with Zeus rendering what Werner Jaeger liked to point out was the first Theodicy in history, Zeus putting the blame on humans. It's all their fault, because they won't listen to what we tell them. I will have news for Zeus from none less than Baruch de Spinoza. I've developed great admiration for Spinoza who missed his calling as a Protestant Minister of the Gospel...

As always, Nikola, I wish you well with all my heart!
