One year ago tomorrow, John returned to Emory hospital with an infection that took weeks to recover from. Two days ago, he returned to Emory University for his final semester of classes. That's a marker worth celebrating, but I think the transition has also been exhausting to John.
It takes a very long time to recover from all he has been through, both physically and mentally, and yesterday, as I drove with him after leaving his car for repairs, I could sense signs of both. The moment validated the need for him to live at home and our decision to move in order to make that easier for him and all. We have no buyer for our house as yet, and we close on the Decatur house on February 15.
John published a softcover book version of his Emo comic, which you should soon find on his webpage: http://www.angelfire.com/comics/ihatethisgame/main.html. It's his second book of the type. They call them "graphic novels"and they are a growing genre unto themselves.
Courtney is now living with her local family, eating guinea pig, taking classes and will be working on the group water development project this weekend. Her website is full of funny stories and great photos. http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?go=Corchita7
Courtney asked for another photo from our sailing trip. The two above are from the day we spent sailing 12 Meter boats from the 1987 America's Cup.
