It is Tuesday, April 25th, one week after the first day of the Summer Semester at ISAP, and I am sitting in front of my bulky old Gateway computer at home in Vancouver. My mother's open heart surgery has been postponed yet again and I could not return to Zurich with such uncertainty in our lives. Depending on whether she goes into the hospital in May and how she fares after the surgery, I may yet fly to Zurich in June for a month or six weeks, but the greater likelihood is that I will request a leave of absence for this semester and return in October. If anything changes, I will surely communicate it here.
Thank you to all who check on me here from time to time. I'll be back.
