Thank You All!

Thanks to everyone who was so good to me while I was in CT. It was a hard two months but it was easier with your calls, emails, visits and pick-me-ups to me and SJW.

Mom is doing quite well - back to work and everything. She's kicking butt at the cardio rehab center three times a week and will hopefully stay on schedule for getting back to 100%.

SJW's foot is getting better each day. He even did an hour ride on the new Lemond yesterday. The foot was a bit more purple afterwards, but did you really think he could wait more than five days to ride that bike as it stared at him in the living room?

Me - well, back in Guam, sleeping better, SJW says I'm getting less yellow everyday. I hope the blood work at the end of this week supports his observations. Most days I'm feeling better, but I'm taking it slow because a return trip to CT to see a specialist is not on my list of fun things to do this summer.

That's about it for the update! Thanks again to everyone!

WELCOME HOME KW!!!!

As some of you may know, Katrina is finally coming back home to GUAM after a little over 8 weeks!! The adventures can continue once my stupid ankle/foot finishes healing it's boo-boo from my mishap. There's a nice pic of it here for all you purple foot fetishers. Thankfully, I'm off the crutches earlier than expected and should be doing everything in a couple weeks, I think. Much better than the original projection!!!!





We'll probably be on this rock for a couple weeks before my next group of days off to explore some more. Thinking maybe Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. They're close enough to do easily and should still be a good time, but maybe some other islands like Yap or Palau instead.....

Katrina will be on a 3rd world boycott for a couple months, so maybe New Zealand in July and Japan in August (which would fit nicely with a sunrise or sunset ascent of Mt Fuji).....

By September, she may be up for some other remote traveling...or maybe not....but that's too far out to think about anyway.....

For now, it'll be nice to just have her back home safe, sound and likely jet-lagged.

Sidenote, a personal thanks to all you back home who helped KW while she was under the weather while I couldn't be....Thanks for the dinners that got dropped off, the emails or phone calls, getting her outside here and there, and most of all the concern and compassion expressed by so many of you. Tough times, but made easier by you all. You make it very easy to remember who your friends are.
