Glad to hear he’s ok. And while I appreciate that a a hand-written webpage is cutesy and personal, I can’t read his fucking handwriting.

Little known, but this guy had ‘root cause’ responsibility for that git Jonathan Aitken going to jail for perjury. We need more journalists like him today - more than ever, today!

Not only can I read his handwriting, but that picture looks just like him.

As a boomer I can drive shift and read clocks of all kinds. I can even do predictive texting. Not that I need to do any of those things. Times change but the dude abides. Not due here for a while, we hope.

Jeff Bridges.

Although it could also plausibly say J.W. Bridges.

I’m one to talk. My signature says Al Radical and my name isn’t even Al.
