“Hello, it’s me. I’ve thought about ‘this’ for a long, long time.” (Not really.) “Maybe I think too much but something’s wrong.”(Nothing’s wrong.) “There’s something here, doesn’t last too long.” (Not true.)

When I began to write this out to you, Hello It’s Me, an old song by Todd Rundgren, started running through my head. And then Hello, by Adele, followed by Lionel Richie’s Hello. I thought I’d spare you all the rest of them and just go with the first one. So, hello it’s me!! Whether

No Trace
