Father Orthoduck can remember being a duckling and watching anxiously as now-Senator John Glenn orbited the Earth in Friendship 7 on 20 February 1962.

May or may not be small hiatus in posting
My long-postponed outpatient surgery looks like it will finally take place. It had been postponed by the anesthesiologist for cardiac testing.

I have heard different things […]
