Not feeling a big post today...

Yeah I don't feel like writing a lot. I don't have a purpose to writing this, no reactions I'm trying to elicit or info to convey, just letting you know I'm alive.

George was replaced by one of the smartest drivers I've ever met. His English is better than mine. He is completely comfortable with his job. I felt like dead weight when I was teaching him, because he knew his job perfectly by the end of day two, and I had to observe for four days. Its too good to be true.

Stool study is running like it should. Nothing to say there.

A photographer came and left. His pictures were great and he took some really good videos. I'm looking forward to seeing what he produces.

I'm currently in a super posh South African casino. Quite the contrast. I feel so detached from all the people coming to spend massive amounts of money. But anyway first time in six months I'm getting some real vacation. Vacation where I don't even have to think about work. Quite relaxing.

Well, not much else to say. Seeya.

Mr Bill

P.S.

Remember those two terrible twins I talked about? The ones that elicited a stronger response than I had expected? Here's what happened. One twin lost 1.5 Kg's in the two weeks before we sent him to the hospital. He died twelve days later. The other twin, the one that lost 1 Kg survived, and is now recovering. Just figured I'd finish the story.

P.S.S.

In total I think 15 children have died in my study by now. Don't worry about me, I'm used to it. And hell, the main clinics treat so many children you can bet that they see a lot. One time I asked and Jay said he had news of three in one day. As ironic as it sounds, that's life.

Thought of you yesterday when we were riding around on Emmanuel Church Road, far from your part of the world. Love from the bookstore.

I'm thrilled you're getting some R&R. Hope you're enjoying the food, too.

Can't wait to hear all about your safari adventures.

Wow, wow, wow--what an amazing 6 months you've lived, Bill. I'm so proud to be your aunt.

Love, Aunt Jo xxxooo
