I’m back from Korea now. Back to a home full of memories.

I’m doing okay. I have friends here. I have family on the way.

I’ll try not to be completely out of communication during this time of transition. Please understand if I’m a bit out of the loop for a while.

Since her death the grief has been strong, but I’ve also managed to laugh. I’ve been reviewing 25 years of memories, 23 years of marriage – but I can see a future for myself.

I’m going to be okay.

And you, readers and Pharyngulites, have made it possible for me to be okay financially. The impossible has been made merely difficult. I am honored and humbled by your generosity, and I’ll be thanking each of you. Some day, when I’m stronger, when I’ve healed, I’ll tell you about my wife, Won.

But not today.
