I am alive and well

Contrary to what any of you might have read in the Providence Journal's blog, a) I am not 19, b) I still live in San Francisco, c) I am very much alive and well. What's more, I am not related to the unfortunately deceased, as far as I know. My first name is quite common, though my last name is not, so any time somebody with my name dies, I hear about it. And it's only the second time, in recent memory...

That must be weird. Glad you are well!

Well, I'm so thankful that our Michael is alive and very well indeed. My heart go out to this mother. Fortes is somewhat common in the Cape Verdean community but often as in our case many of the families with this last name are not related.
