Back Home for Kris

I arrived safely home in Michigan yesterday afternoon and slept 14 hours last night. It'll take a few days to do laundry, unpack, and get ready for school to start (a week behind everyone else). I'm glad to be home, glad to have gone, and eager to continue to make sense of the trip. It feels strange to have left John there - not because he's not a perfectly competent grown up, but because we make a pretty good team there and now he gets to make a go of it solo. I'm looking forward to reading the Further Adventures of John in Vietnam, while also looking forward to getting back into a routine in Michigan - where the Mitten State is about to get serious about winter weather.
