Fractal fans: I am sorry about not posting my usual FOTD's, but needing to get around on a walker and being unable to do the things I usually do, my spirits are very low. I guess I'm just not used to being laid up. In my present state of mind, it is impossible to write in my normal manner, and I don't want to make the FOTD a message of depression. I will be able to post only an occasional FOTD until my bum ankle starts to come back on-line. Everyone tells me that I will soon be on the mend, but I don't know how soon. When I notice definite improvement, my old self will soon return. Until then, take care, and be patient. I will not abandon the FOTD. P.S. The fractal cats are doing fine. In fact, with their displays of affection they almost seem to be trying to comfort me. Jim M.
