Re: Time

As you may recall I had abdominal surgery in November. The recuperation from the illness took more than eight weeks, during which time I hosted two large family holiday celebrations, finished writing a book, and edited another. I am still working and my stomach still hurts. If you have in any way felt slighted or neglected during these months, I would like to refer you again to the major abdominal surgery and intense work schedule. I know that it is difficult to believe that I have any problems whatsoever because I am always so glib and efficient. However, you will have to believe that this is in fact the case. I trust that we will resume our plans, projects, and sundry entertainment schedule somewhere around the middle of February. Thank you for understanding. If you are one of the people who sent letters, packages, email, dropped by with casseroles, or entertained my children, you have my lifelong gratitude.
