"I think the best one can do nowadays is just to wish that we all survive, year by year."

I love that! It's that's actually a fantastically stoic wish for the morning of January 1st.

Thanks for leaving the best for last.

Thanks. Sometimes a small word from a stranger doers "make a difference between life and death" (J.Cheever. The Angel of the Bridge.) Not sure I'll ever get to reading a selection of Chekhov's letters from cover to cover (a top priority at all times, a friend insists). now that Havel's Letters to Olga are on my TBR list.

I'm with M Beaudelaire. I'm not sure we all realize how bad things are going to be.
