Thanks you for your kindness 😭 It turned out I have a problem with my cervical discs. I’m taking medicine and correcting my sleeping posture, and it seems they are working. Always appreciate your support. Take care and stay well to you too ❤️

I'm so glad that they have diagnosed the problem and that their treatment is working. Herniated discs and bone spurs can be difficult to address, but it sounds like you are doing it well! Keep up the self care!

Oh, I wanted to tell you a fun tidbit. As I mentioned before, I've been listening to the old episodes from your podcast, and a few weeks ago I listened to you read the passage from Stephen Greenblatt's book _Swerve_. I was unfamiliar with the book, but not unfamiliar with the author. When I was in college at Berkeley University, in Northern California, Greenblatt was a professor there, and I took one of his classes on Shakespeare my senior year. He was (and I assume still is) a wonderful lecturer, funny and moving and smart as can be.

Hello Ari, a reply from an elder Australian (soon to be 65).

Like your ramen recipe and it is hard to go wrong with tomato and eggs, fresh.

And the avoidance of investgation and response to the Itaewon Tragedy is not so unusual, but terribly sad and bad. My respect to all those families confronting the powers and the respectful way they did this.

And Starwars ! Old enough to have seen the first three movies in picture theatres. So, so good then. Will look up Padme (Natalie Portman)'s quote, as so cool.

Bit of Wild Weather here with cyclones and things. Stay well and safe.

Hi, Christoffa! Thanks for your comment! Now that I know I have a subscriber in Australia, I will look up a summer food recipe :D

It’s so cool that you watched the first Star Wars in a theatre. Stay safe and take care in the midst of wild weather! ❤️

Hello Ari, have been reading quite a few of your many wonderful articles. Very impressed.

Did reply to another of your posts about food, and have made the lovely beef and pork soup dish.

V cool.

This reply is mainly about a suggested article for Travellers to Oz (Australia) by you and Safe Swimming in summer on our beautiful beaches. The trigger is a report of the sad death of a Korean honeymooner at a Manly beach, at a beach I have been to. Not sure what went wrong.

But the simple rule here is not to swim on a beach without Surf Life Saving patrol, and always within the Flags. And not to swim after evening.

If you want, do contact to discuss in the future.
