Tonight I learned that the last of the fundraising money has come in, and this is a tremendous relief! The process was haphazard, done through e-mail and bulk-rate mailings, but at every turn people were exceedingly generous. Thank you all.
Speaking of e-mails, my State buddy Andy tells me my e-mail went to his Junk folder because "Uganda" was in the subject line, and all the creative work spaces and "flex time" at Google couldn't distinguish my call for support from a Nigerian bank-laundering scheme. Kudos to you if you suffered this fate and still made it to this page. All you missed were some articulate prose and instructions to send a blank e-mail to JohnInUganda-subscribe@googlegroups.com if you'd like to join the monthly list-serve.
In other news, the departure date is September 9th! In the meantime, the details of closing up life here for a year weigh more heavily on my mind every day. The last three weeks at home will have a feel of anything but normality, but can I expect anything else?
