    Only one voice here, but I have fallen into a bit of a funk over the
    winter and will not be participating in the pool (this season). I will
    still tune in to read comments and news, but will likely post even more infrequently than in the past.

    I'm happy with Eternal September as me news source and my mail program (Thunderbird) lets me treat it just like regular mail.

    Still healthy enough, although old age aches and pains tend to
    contribute to the mental state. Beats being dead though, or so I'm told.

    Sorry to hear this, Darryl. I’m 85 and, like you, suffering physical and mental decline but I fully intend continuing to follow F1, as I have since
    the 1950s. The pool provides a little extra interest (thanks Mark).
