You are such an important and beloved member of DU. I look forward to your posts everyday, even though I don't always respond to them. I wish you all the best and sincerely hope that all goes well with you and that you will feel refreshed enough to come back sooner rather than later.

Please take all the time you need. We'll leave the light on for you.

Much love,

Slow down, chill, take care of what’s right there.

As I write this, my wife and I are in the Düsseldorf airport, waiting for the short flight to Amsterdam, the crowded chaos of that immense airport, and the long flight to Boston. Tomorrow, we drive out to the tip of Cape Cod, where we plan about five weeks of nothing but food, beach, and entertaining family and friends who decide to pass through. I bust my ass for 11 months a year for this, and it’s time once again.
