Before I start: good luck to Uncle Mike, who is undergoing his first ever (and hopefully last ever) knee replacement surgery.
I hope that the healing process is swift, nearly painless, and positive for him and his family.

The last two weeks haven’t been the most productive, but they’ve certainly been interesting.
I think everything is going to be alright, but then again, there’s no other option, is there?

I went dancing on Friday night. Big deal, you’re thinking. And you’re right, except for one small thing. I danced entirely un-self-consciously. I danced and I was and I didn’t care who was looking. That was a beautiful thing for me.
