I'm back at home

[chris at bluecobras.com]

Julian, this is the day I have been waiting for.  A simple couple of  
words would have been fine but just to hear from you yourself is  
awesome.  This is a great day indeed.  I know you have heard nothing  
but your health is the most important thing and it is but enjoying  
life is part of that.  So sit back and do the things you can that you  
have wanted to do but didn't have the time.  Send us an email every  
now and then and we will be happy.  When you are well enough we will  
be happy to have you back doing your thing.

Get well and enjoy!

Chris Hammond
Richmond, VA
