My ancestors were a jumbled mix: there were doctors, an immigrant who became an industrialist, a journalist who migrated from the East Coast to California on bicycle, hard-working, long-suffering Irish stock that toiled in Nebraska and Kansas. There are high achievers, ne’er-do-wells and some outsiders like myself who took a more meandering path.

Welcome back! I’ve missed you! Right off the bat, I have to disagree with you. This is a great one. You deftly show us our humdrum illusions for what they are. The lofty can be brought low, humbled before greater realities, and the low, the crude bottom line, is really the miracle of life. Bravo! Chapeau!
Agreed – bravo! I love every reminder I receive on this cornucopia of inter-connectedness within “the world.” And happy home-coming.
