A Victorian Re-imagined

As promised, Tom, I stopped by to see you today. I'm sorry that it's been a few days, but I wanted to be sure that my strep throat was of no concern to you or to your fellow CCU patients. I got the green light from your doc, which made me very happy. It was nice to see you, hold your hand and think about all the good times we've had and that we will have. Be strong!

I'm sure your recent visitors have told you about San Francisco's hot spell. Well, the weather has certainly changed -- it was a typically brisk San Francisco morning. Just how you like it, if I'm not mistaken. I noticed for the first time that you had a little fan blowing across your bed. I'm not sure who had the clever idea to make that happen, but I hope it reminds you of home!

When you gain some strength, I'm sure you will recognize the headline of my post -- it's the title of the article in the December 2004 issue of Inspired Home magazine that featured your house on the cover! I knew I had to bring a couple of gossip magazines for my visit -- you do seem consistently interested in celebrity updates. But somehow I also remembered the hilarious first line of the story in Inspired Home and read it (and the rest of the article) to you:

"The first time I saw our house, I thought, 'That is the ugliest house I've ever seen.'"

So Tom! You (and Bill) took care of that!

I hope that you were aware of my visit today. I know that your mom believes that one-on-one contact with your friends is very important right now -- count on us to keep the visits going strong!

With love,

Craig (and Troy, who asked me to send you love from Asia)
