A Trip to Canada: A Brief Digression

Just a note to those people who have been following the updates and wondered "what happened?"

It turns out I had acquired a serious gastro-intestinal ailment long before my trip began, which re-emerged during my travels. When I came home, I spent a week being extremely miserable and virtually comatose.

Thanks to the sharp eyes of my physician and his staff, the culprit was identified -- H. Pylori to be specific -- and treatment commenced with no time to lose. I'm now on the road to recovery, and will finish the diary and post a few last pictures when I get a bit more on my feet.

Thanks to everyone who wrote or called with concern, it was much appreciated. Stay tuned for further updates.
