I've had a spate of dizzy spells lately - in fact five in a week - and one of them corresponded exactly with Cloud Quakers. About four on Sunday, the world started spinning around me. I took meds that tend to knock you out, and they did. I took a nap - that usually solves the dizziness problem - but when I woke up CQ was already half over, and nobody could get on without me.

That last part is the crux of the problem. I'd promised to get around that problem, way back at New Year, and didn't. Or rather, I thought I did, but it didn't take. It didn't last. Even today, nobody can get on without me.

Tomorrow is Easter. It is my solemn vow that I will be there, or you will at the very least be able to be there without me.

I wish you all a happy holiday. We Quakers, I hope, will be there as always.
