Just a quick episode to tell you that my health crisis has reached a climax and I am headed to a major surgery that will undoubtedly change my life.

I'm sorry I'm having to stop the podcast at this moment . . . but what a moment we got to: the apex of Virgil's time in the poem. Maybe that's a fitting moment for me to take a break, too.

I hope to be back with the poem in perhaps six weeks. Time will tell how I heal. In the meantime, I wish you smooth walking on whatever paths you must traverse in this life as we all make our own ways across the known universe.
