Hello Todd, Alex, and everyone there – Just got the email about the accident, and want to say that I am sending all my positive energy out to you from my hermitage in Bishop, and am so glad to read about your nods and blinks and good cat scans! I am certain you will be back doing all the fantastic, fun, challenging things – and loads of picnics, too – that you were involved in before this “down time.” I’ll be thinking of you, and joining the worldwide flow of hope and encouragement flowing your way every day. A bientot, Jynx

Hey there Mr Blair and Little Sister,
What a wonderful evening last night, and so glad we caught you at the tail end of it. Everyone was clustered around my cel phone and I felt like it was some kind of funnel of love, there on the edge of the water, and more pieces kept getting added, and the energy just wound its way through the earth to y’all. As everyone’s voices added to the tapestry I found myself just basking in the pure sense of closeness, family, whatever you want to call it. It is always there at SRL events in a jangly Appalachian kind of way, but last night it was SOLID. We all love you so much for helping Todd steer this boat back to us, and we are all rowing our asses off, except for Eric Paulos, who is figuring out some kind of way to connect a bunch of his flying pillows to the main mast.
Okay my dear freinds, hope today is a progressive one. Mary gives me permission again to say “hi” to y’all.
I collected all the hugs from last night and will put them in a compressed JHUG format and e-mail them seperately.

Dear doter, I am so very glad to hear about Todd’s progress! Like Penny said it makes me feel like crying! It is so great that maybe soon you will get to go back home!!! I imagine that is great news that you will be looking forward to!

Like Joni in her dream, Todd will wake up and you two will fly into the sunset back to the states and to the path of his recuperation!

My thoughts are with you all the time and in my mind, y am following your day’s activities.
I am so glad that Penny is there with you, you and Todd have great friends!
Tell Todd that I love him so much and I am there in spirit celebrating every single small and big improvement. Please give him a kiss from me.
Take care, my love to you and Penny, mummy

Alex and Todd,
I can’t stop thinking about you two! The progress is remarkable and I know you will be home soon. I have to tell you that the night before last I had a dream about Todd.
I haven’t had a dream before, maybe because I think of you all day long, but that night I did. I dreamed that the family was all around you, like at our family reunion last summer. Although we weren’t in Amsterdam, I don’t know where we were. All of the sudden, Todd sat up and asked what we were doing there. He didn’t remember anything about the accident, and he was almost back to Todd. He thanked us all for coming and said all he wanted to do was to buy a boat and sail with Alex off into the sunset! I woke up and thought “does Todd even like boats?” I don’t know but it was very romantic, very Todd. He certainly had his priorities straight! Just thought that was interesting. I never remember my dreams but that one was so vivid. I love you both so much and can’t wait until you come home. Thanks for the posts…they get me through the day!
Love you,

Joni

Hey Todd and Alex,
I just today found out what happened… I met Todd at CCA during my exchange semester as great personality, a wonderful artist, engineer and lecturer. I miss such a person like him on our campus here in Germany.

I know you will get threw this! You are the man… You’re gonna make it …

I am glad to hear that things are getting better.
Best wishes my friend…

Hope to see you someday soon in Germany

Alex! Nina here, at the DorkBot Fundraiser. I just transacted our first PayPal donation on the computer here… and thought I’d send you guys a note.

The turnout is HYOOGE, and you and Todd are both very much with us here, despite all the miles.

Your both amazing- I’ll go drink a cold Guinness, 1 each for the both of ya.
