For those interested, just finished translation of Shiva Purana. 675,000 words in 3 volumes. Longest and most difficult of Purana translations so far. Since Brahma and Vishnu have to be published first, will not be out before second half of 2022. Brahmanda or Matsya next.

I, my wife, and my mother-in-law (who is 84), were all infected. We have now recovered, without hospitalisation being necessary. Vaccination, breathing exercises, tele consultation, all helped. Plus, we have been fortunate.
