Drew, thank you for your beautiful hello.

First, let me say, I'm still happily reefing. My tank is doing well. I lost one fish and one coral due for unknown reasons.

Second, I got a kind note from my friend BigAl asking how I was. I wrote back to him with the reply I'm pasting below. I'm sharing with you because I wanted you all to know where I've been and that I still think of you all and have missed you.
