These are the musings of a retired journalist who recently turned 80. Since I no longer have a conventional outlet for my views and so-called creative writings, I turn to the phenomenon of the blog to have my say.
He is slowly recovering. He is now in his third medical facility – a subacute rehab. where he is working to get back on his feet (with the help of a walker). He is sadly also dealing with other serious medical problems. He is no longer a regular computer user, but from time to time checks his email. We would like to wish all of his regular readers a happy healthy holiday season.

Thank you for the update!!!! I'm sorry to hear he's not progressing more. I hope that he will, in time, recover. I will double my prayers for him.
I should have read this before sending my e-mail. Now I know that you are still in New Jersey, Mort.
I am so sorry that you are having to endure this pain. I have a smattering of what you are going through, but my injury was not nearly as severe as yours. Let me just say, I know you are not having fun.
I am sending healing thoughts your way and hope you are soon feeling much better. We miss your blog and hope to see your name on a post soon.
Take very good care, mind the doctors and don't flirt with those pretty nurses or I'll tell Sybil.
It is so good to have this update, as you have been on my mind, Mort. I just hate thinking about you struggling back to health and wish it could be an easier road for you. Please know that I miss your writing in your blog very much. It's not the same without you so please continue toward wellness.
My husband and I wish you and your family happy holidays and I wonder if you have heard the new Hanukkah song penned by Orrin Hatch (of all people!)? It was featured on an NPR piece and is available for viewing on the web. Maybe your daughter can access it for you.

It is good to hear how Mort is progressing. I hope he understands how many of us miss him and wish him nothing but good things.

Thanks for the up date on Mort's status. Glad to hear he's continuing with rehab. and is able to check his email.
I am still praying for Mort's recovery.
I await his views on the latest developments in what seems to be a deterioration in the relationship between the US and Israel. C'mon Mort! Let's get your opinion!
My old one is no good any more, has anyone got experience of one of these:

Dear Mort,
We had a brief e-mail exchange concerning our common interest in the Sivin name some years ago and from time to time I am in touch with your nephew. I was so sorry to hear about your accident. I send all good wishes to you for a complete recovery.
Regards,
Helaine
