Gentle Reader, I must beg your forbearance and forgiveness for the absence of a proper column today. It is not because I did not write one, for I did, but the computer gremlins finally had their revenge for all the years I have made fun of them.
Sunday, despite the fact that I continued to suffer the after effect of Long Covid-19, combined with the onset of this year’s bout of spring tree pollen allergy, whereby I felt like the perfect example of my mother’s Irish description, i.e. “I felt just like old Billy Hell right after he had been run over by the hind wheels of destruction!” In said condition I seated myself at the computer and composed the column.
