My mother has recovered greatly; she's up and walking around, the pathology report has come back about as good as we might have hoped - and we are holding out high hopes for her recovery.
There are many people who have helped me over the past three weeks, but, because I'm a selfish favoritist, I'm going to thank just two right now.
Contrary to the title, the two people are Ingrida and David, Thomas' father.
David is probably my best friend in Edinburgh. He's a clever, straight-talking, down to earth man whom I've worked with for about five years, off and on.
Thomas get's a show in the title because I'm going to show you a picture of him. David sent me an email nearly every day when I was in the States. His message was always hopeful and kind - and he helped keep me grounded. I'm grateful.
Also, he sent me pictures of his son and beautiful wife Jaime - and I showed them to my mother, who was greatly cheered by the fact that I had friends that had families, rather than just living in a fool's paradise. She thought two pictures were especially cute; you'll see them here.
Second, I'd like to thank Ingrida. She's a godsend. She's also blushing as I write this, right now. She makes me smile and laugh and called me, via Skype, until the BT broke the Internet pipe to my house (damn you, BT!).
David, Ingrida - Thank you.
Okay, here's a picture of Thomas, David's insanely well-behaved son, at the dinner table, and then in the Scott monument with his mommy, Jaime.
Also, we have a picture of Ingrida in a silly hat!
Nathan - Please give your Mom a hug for me, and my best wishes. It's amazing how quickly we remember what is really important in life, and somedays I wish that simplicity was easier to hold on to.
We're thinking of you, buddy, and sending good thoughts your way....
Hi, Nae! I'm really happy that you've got a strong support network in Edinburgh. It makes me sad that you live so far away and I think that it contributes to the distance that is in our relationship. But, either way, it is very important to me that you have an environment and community that really supports you.
It did not register to me that you would have such a strong network in Scotland but mostly because I wanted to hope that one day you might come and live near me.
Nathan's friends,
He's the only brother that I've got, you take care of him!
Nathan, I love you.
Nae, What I have come to realize is what a strong network I have in my children. Thank you to all of their friends and lovers who support my support. Uncle Christophe called this afternoon to tell me what wonderful, charming, caring, witty people my children have grown up to be. I fully concur.
I, on the other hand, have tons of brothers. My philosophy is "there's more where that came from."
That makes sense to me but does this?
Why isn’t phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

Really clear website , thanks for this post.
Some genuinely nice stuff on this website , I it.
I like this site so much, saved to favorites .
Good site! I really love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I'm wondering how I could be notified when a new post has been made. I've subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a great day!
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Cool share it is definitely. I’ve been awaiting for this update.
Outstanding info over again! I am looking forward for more updates.
I am so happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that's at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.
I was just seeking this info for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don't rank this kind of informative web sites in top of the list. Generally the top websites are full of garbage.
I like what you guys are up also. Such smart work and reporting! Carry on the excellent works guys I have incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it will improve the value of my site :)
I would like to thank you for the efforts you've put in writing this web site. I am hoping the same high-grade blog post from you in the upcoming as well. Actually your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my own web site now. Really the blogging is spreading its wings rapidly. Your write up is a great example of it.
I will be possessing a small problem. I am unable to join ones rss for reasons unknown. I will be employing google target audience anyway.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
I simply appreciate this wp theme, where did people obtain it from?
Thank you for writing valuable post regarding the subject. I'm a fan of your site. Keep up the good work.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
