Vaya con Dios, mi amor

[thatcrazycajun]

Today my sweet Songbird (singing_phoenix) leaves for her three-month detail to Kenya to help the Global AIDS Project spend Junior's PEPFAR cash. With all the scary stuff that State Dept. folks have spent the past two months telling her (and through her, me) regarding this poverty-stricken, crime-ridden (its capital city, Nairobi, has the unofficial nickname "Nai-robbery," apparently with good reason), disease-ravaged nation, it is entirely possible (though admittedly unlikely) that she might not come back. Please pray for her if you believe; send her kind thoughts if you do not. I have never been more proud of her...or more nervous for her. I go now to drive her to the airport and reflect on what life will be like without her until November.

Thinking nothing but positive thoughts

Good for her! Someone ought to get some *positive* benefits out of something Junior's doing. May she travel far and come back safe.

Y'all will both definitely be in our thoughts. Does she have any internet access?

Will you be able to do DragonCon this year? It'd be nice to get caught up.

Internet access and DragonCon

Yes and yes. See latest entry on Mary higher up.

I'm chronically several days behind on LJ, even before going off to WorldCon & then Dragon, but I'll get to it when I can. If nothing else, I'll see you at Dragon; the concerts will rock! [Heather & filkertom & Boogie Knights, et-wonderful-cetera.]
