Dear Susan and Bill,
I wanted to let you know that I would not have survived this past year-plus without Mac. He is the best company to have in and out of quarantine. He is a real character with a sense of playful humor and the ability to intuit how, and maybe even what, you’re thinking and feeling. 

We will be ready for a new youngster this Fall— October’ish so that we can beat the winter freeze, and spare that youngster a Northeast winter. . . at least upon arrival. Keep me posted on who’s coming along. 

And a snap of Mac— he developed a habit of reading The New Yorker during quarantine!
