Dear friends,
I apologize if you got any strange e-mails from me in the last 24 hours – one of my e-mails was compromised – the password was changed but should be fixed now – and I probably didn’t get your e-mails if you sent them in the last days. Of course, if you got anything suspicious from me yesterday, do not click on any of the links. And again, I know I missed some e-mails from people, so if you sent me anything in the last 24 hours or so, you might want to re-send.
I’d also like to ask for your thoughts for my mom who is normally pretty healthy and spunky, who is currently in the hospital with possibly serious heart problems and also possible pneumonia. I can’t go out to see her in Ohio because I’ve been running a high fever for a week and it wouldn’t be good to expose mom to more germs…but I’m awfully worried. So far this April has not been shaping up to be stellar, would be my understatement.

Sorry about all this. Wishing you and her well.

Sending good thoughts towards you and your mom (your mom will get them faster — Ohio’s closer to PA),
And yep, you are right. This April has not been the best.
