trust in god, but tie your camel...

his flight landed safely.

the MITM is back in deepestdarkestafrica. i hate the distance his work imposes, but you know what i hate even more? the time he's in the air. now, i have no fear of flying, but i also know how random accidents are and that no one can anticipate or plan for them. all we can ever do is live. live without letting fear of the unknown or the possible keep us from enjoying the now.

i will to talk to him everyday.

he is safe.

he has his anti-malaria medication.

his health is good.

and, as he said, he is working.

we're going to be ok.

    But then, you know that...

    sending a hug from Brooklyn!

    and p.s. I did get the forward, thanks. I especially love the Brooklyn merchandise! I think I may order something!

  4. Meh, planes are flying germ factories. Everyone should wear a face mask, hand sanitizer should be mandatory, and and and.

    Now that I've cheered you up (ha), do not worry, all will be well.

    Blessings upon you and yours.

  5. It is so damn cute that after all of the miles and years and close calls and all the rest you two still get all sappy when you part. I look forward to being that sappy with someone one day. By the way, that's a pretty randy song if you actually listen to the lyrics.

  6. Savannah, knowing that he is safe over there is consolation, but having him back home, safe in your arms, will be the real prize! Warm hugs, girlie!

  10. Glad to hear he is safe. That is good news. And hopefully he won't have to worry about tying camels where he's going.

  11. A thousand "Best Wishes" to you and THE MAN who really is "THE MAN." He is the salt of the Earth. This planet would be better off with more like him. And you. He knows that many people are counting on him and his expertise. He is driven to do the best work that he is capable of doing. This MAN will never let you down and he will do whatever he can to help his fellow man. This guy rates very high on my list. He reminds me of my own father and that is high praise indeed. My father is now gone but in a way he still lives when I see similiar qualities in another person that I respect.

  15. In the hear and now, (ops, there it goes again) I mean now, )shit, gone again). Anyway, I don’t wish to add stress, but (I will anyway, it’s in my nature to upset the rational) you’re (statistically) safer in a plane than in your own home (on the ground)
