At once cheering and chilling. I can look at it and say, 'that's not him', but when I hear his take on things, and the way he phrases it...it is.

Hang in there hoss, I'll see you this Sunday.

Chris: I'll be coming in on Amtrak, Sunday, 2:29pm, at the 30th Street Station. If you need to send someone [that I've not met] to pick me up, I'll be wear my yellow/gold insulated jacket [like Mak's blue one] and Civil War kepi. See you all then!

Mark:

This is from a small town in Morocco on a French/Arabic keyboard with the keys in different positions and with some of the keys so worn that they have no narkings on them! The evening call to prayer is going on right now, which adds to the exotic atmosphere. Wonderful trip so far, especially the desert camping. See you soon.

Hey Mark,
A movie star at last!! Chivas didn't know what they were missing. Folks continue to send good wishes - Sarah Blaisdale now in New York - spoke to her by phone on Friday nite. My mom and sister ask for you everytime I speak with them, too. Continued prayers are coming by way of St. James Church in Bristol - can't hurt.

Keep giving it your best every day, am cherring you on,
Joyce

Hey, I suppose it's getting to be time to start planning our visit to see the Markster - finally! This week, I'm teaching a class in Boston, after which we're driving back to Florida (sounds like a crazy long trip, but we planned it that way so we could stop by. Man, but I've missed him.) I'm going to be done here Friday, about 1 p.m., then we'll drive down to NYC and spend the night at my brother's place there; hopefully, Saturday is a good day for visitors. Chris, I'll get in touch with you directly as the time gets closer - Kat and I are both looking forward to meeting you!

Mark it's so good that you're back on the road and all that. Can't wait to see you out and about again soon!

I was elated to hear your voice, uttering cogent thoughts and being insightful, as always. I have followed this blog everyday and have written occasionally,not out of "curiosity for your quest", as you stated, but out of concern and love for my first cousin. From this temporary setback you will acknowledge your strength and the fact that many people love and admire you, including me. People miss your wit, charm, laughter and occasionally caustic "take on life." I can hear you now, "one hellava way to learn it." Remember how quickly time passes. You'll be back in action sooner than you know it. Love ya, man.

You look even better than last we saw you. Your eyes are clearer and I see Mark returning a little more each time. We are so proud of the uphill battle you are fighting. So happy to read the opthamalogist prognosis that it will just take some more time and that it will be ok. Lots of prayers still coming your way. The airwaves are alive with the magnetic forces of all our combined love for you. hugs from L'ON
