i think. i don't know whether i'm taking sandy's thoughts in vain... you're looking at your wife who's sitting off—camera. ..but it's been a period of great happiness, not less, and i pass that on to others who are in the same queue that i'm in. i'm well aware that either of us might get taken at some time in the not—too—dista nt future, but, well, that's. .. and in the meantime, you appear to be intent on still thinking, writing, having big thoughts about... ..us all and this planet we live on. yes, very much so. with a smile on your face, despite everything we've discussed. of course. i think we'll get by all right.
