24. In general, and all things considered, I'm ok.

Thank you for asking.

Specifically, I am exhausted. Two days ago my wife and I began the return half of our road trip across the country. I'm almost 60; she's 70; and we fully underestimated the toll that driving all day on most days would take on us.

We left on September 8. We'll be home on October 4. It can't come soon enough.

Too long a non-relevant answer?
