O.K., Folks, I am almost back. Thank you all for your kind concerns. It does matter to know you guys care so much . I am slowly getting back to health. It's good to be home!

This years trip to Germany was definitely one of the most exhausting experiences I can recall. In four weeks I grew bacterial cultures at just about every place of interest to an Otolaryngologist (ENT). Once it was getting better in one place it started in the next. My voice still tells the story of all the coughing and hacking. (My wife just told me I sound like the pedophile in Family Guy. That IS a good description!).

My brain is also recuperating, lacking any form of creative energy after 3 weeks of having to be creative at work, when all I wanted to do was to lay in bed. So please have a little more patience and I will continue to report on this journey. I don't want to let you down after you became invested in our story, but I just need a little more time to get myself together and back to writing. Love always! Maybe more tomorrow?
