I do. I recently saw Veronica Hamel in some pix and was sad to see how time has ravaged her former good looks. Joe Spano seems to have never aged and enjoys a good living at NCIS these days. I miss Michael Conrad.Have a great day... 'And let's be careful out there' (Can't help myself. Age spoiler - who remembers that quote?)
Good morning

For sure, Spano is a bit ageless, maybe because he was never quite youthful?? But Conrad is definitely missed. I loved him in that role...
Good morning
online etymology dictionary
hello
1883, alteration of hallo, itself an alteration of holla, hollo, a shout to attract attention, which seems to go back to at least c.1400. Perhaps from holla! "stop, cease."
OED cites Old High German hala, hola, emphatic imperative of halon, holon "to fetch," "used especially in hailing a ferryman."
Fowler lists halloo, hallo, halloa, halloo, hello, hillo, hilloa, holla, holler, hollo, holloa, hollow, hullo, and writes, "The multiplicity of forms is bewildering ...."
Popularity as a greeting coincides with use of the telephone, where it won out over Alexander Graham Bell's suggestion, ahoy.
Central telephone exchange operators were known as hello-girls (1889).
Hello, formerly an Americanism, is now nearly as common as hullo in Britain (Say who you are; do not just say 'hello' is the warning given in our telephone directories) and the Englishman cannot be expected to give up the right to say hello if he likes it better than his native hullo. [H.W. Fowler, "A Dictionary of Modern English Usage," 1926]
Well hello everyone.
