Howey is alive. last I checked. He is well. He is extant. wairzeat? dunno.

methinks he hides beneath his shield like the greeks at marathon in that ancient and famous charge against the persian horde.. thereby to avoid the slings and arrows of outrage and fortune...





The Battle of Marathon immortalized the name of Miltiades; but in a few years' time he fell from his high estate, for he failed in an expedition against the island of Pa'ros. The Greeks had no pity for failure. As they hooted against unsuccessful atheletes in their games, so they jeered at Miltiades. In spite of all the honors they had recently heaped upon him, the people hearkened to his enemies when they said his failure was due to criminal conduct of some kind. He was called up for trial, though he was wounded and forced to appear before his judges on a couch, he was fined fifty talents of silver, and when he could not pay the debt he was cast into prison to die. So ended the life of Miltiades. Such was the gratitude shown by the Greeks to the hero of Marathon.



here is another possibility.
