Ransom thoughts

A few random thoughts. First of all, I want to thank all of you for your very kind expressions of sympathy about my on-going back sabotage. You guys are the best! And I have some good news. I’ve been told that in May Netflix will begin broadcasting the second season of The Last Kingdom, based upon the Bernard Cornwell series that we so love. Also, I wanted to express my admiration to Prince Harry for being so candid about his grieving for the loss of his mother and for encouraging people to consider therapy when they are struggling. Princess Diana had a positive impact on public opinion when she was photographed cuddling a baby with AIDS, and her sons are following in her footsteps. We live in an age in which celebrities wield considerable influence and it is encouraging when they choose to use that clout for good. Lastly, I am about to besiege Kerak Castle, which was once in Outremer and today is in Jordan. Wish me luck; hopefully, I’ll not need it.
