always upward bound

That's for sure. I am basically a very optimistic person. I have S.A.D. but I fight it, and I figure I have so much to be optimistic about. I can no longer concern myself with what other people are doing to make themselves and others miserable. "Don't worry; be happy!" is going to be my 2022 motto!

Sort of, Lin. It just dawned on me that, once upon a time, vapor had an entirely different meaning!

Well you certainly wouldn't be going the other way that's for sure Milton I'm sure you've had many experiences that have molded you the way you are. Tom

Well, I hope not, Tom. But, does one ever really know? I wrote a light verse this morning about the judgment day which I will post when the site allows me to. I think the humor suppresses the wondering.
