Where’ve you been?
MM: What do you mean? “Where’ve I been?”
Well, you haven’t posted anything for a month.
MM: Who’d notice?
Some of us thought you’d DIED!
MM: Things were difficult. For one thing, China.
China?
MM: The site is blocked in China. I couldn’t log on.
But you weren’t in China for a MONTH! You exaggerate.
MM: No, but I was in other places that made me feel like I was.
That difficult?
MM: That difficult.

Voice-over
A conversation with a LOT of questions. Even questions posing as responses to questions:
Where’ve you been?
What do you mean? “Where’ve I been?”
And a quaint ending:
That difficult?
That difficult.
The falling intonation on the imitated utterance turns the question into a statement.

Lawrie, good to see you back! Sain et sauf! Muchos apologios pour le silence. La lune, savez vous? I am rehabilitating. Meaning the gravity is heavier here. I have to relearn how to walk, how to talk.
Plus d'histoires sous peu, bon ami.
