Doing fine, Russ.
I'll be in Bangkok next month and then off to Europe till the end of September. Not really looking forward to the Europe trip but it's something I've got to do. It's been 25 years since my last visit to the old country although it feels like yesterday. Boring as hell! Not used to all them white people around me. Haha! No kidding, I felt so out of place.
Ah, I don't pay heed what they think in North America (US, that is, as Canada and Mexico don't share the same sentiments as their neighbor) just as the USA doesn't give a hoot about the rest of the world.
