YAY!
I called and left a message.
Say hello to my hometown for me!
I miss it mightily!
I spent the second half of my childhoood in Springfield Gardens, Queens.

Well family, I am back in New York;
I have lost my job as associate professor in a small college in the
Middle East. I could not lecture anymore, it was just too
exhausting and I got sick a lot. I was let go with three months'
notice.
Now, as for most of us who have chronic diseases, I face financial
oblivion, and I don't like the prospects. But that is our lot in
the US, the only industrialized economy not offering government
managed single pay medical coverage for all citizens as a right.
Since coming home and being with my dear wife once again, I have not
suffered even one attack of agonist and antagonist muscle
contractions, that used to send me to the floor and unable to
control my limbs and torso for hours. My condition is very
sensitive to stress loads, as the lesions were in the brainstem, the
switching station for the body.
We are in Queens now, awaiting the news from the bank that will
allow us to take possession of a new-construction condominium. For
now, we live in a basement apartment.
Anyway, for those friends living nearby, I would love to hear from them.
My number here is (917) 459-9733, a local call in New York City.
Take care,
Dalton
