Mostly, I just want to reach out once a year and say hello and try not to lose touch in this fast-paced, far-flung world. I’m not sure I’ve ever had less to report! I considered skipping a year but decided to stick with it just for the sake of it, which is pretty on-brand for me. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-6a7515e2-7fff-7496-e215-58c34ef5d09d"><br />What a strange year! I hope that you and your families are healthy and safe. I know it's been a frightening and difficult year for so many people. I’m fortunate that my family has been able to stay healthy and I’m able to work from home.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span><br />Remember the before times? I only barely do. In January of 2020 I participated in <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/01/06/793895415/dry-january-the-health-benefits-from-taking-a-break-from-alcohol">Dry January</a> and also a challenge to do 12 whole minutes of cardio a day. Here’s a <a href="https://twitter.com/CourtneyMFK/status/1223307203593064450">thread</a> about how cranky it made me and how I don’t recommend it. :) </span></div><div><br /></div>I had been sticking with <a href="https://www.kbfreedomrunners.com/">the running club</a> on Tuesdays and Sundays and was training for the Nashville half marathon when all the road races were canceled. Many thanks to my virtual KBFR texting team for motivating me to get off the couch occasionally! My last road race was the Cambridge 5-miler in February. Here’s me after that race:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWV7Z1x-aob-qZS5GF-T1esBibfpQQ0kPY3xSwtKXMACxwvEdHJO6DcGaOzJC4p4qaIldLII5QyCNDinJELKSdZnXkTDDCgXF11-hxH6OJl4sAkPQR5xUgdFlIDRzkhgyQvd7zVL2ht6mh/s1440/IMG_9164.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWV7Z1x-aob-qZS5GF-T1esBibfpQQ0kPY3xSwtKXMACxwvEdHJO6DcGaOzJC4p4qaIldLII5QyCNDinJELKSdZnXkTDDCgXF11-hxH6OJl4sAkPQR5xUgdFlIDRzkhgyQvd7zVL2ht6mh/s320/IMG_9164.JPG" /></a></div><br />Later in the year I got used to running in my face covering.

Since then I’ve been mostly working from home, with occasional trips outside for a jog and lots of Netflix. Like many of you I’ve worn pajamas for months at a time. I experimented with feeding myself a couple different ways like perfecting pancakes (bake the batter in a cake pan for 8 min at 350° F) and making <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/09/at-home/virus-make-ice-cream-in-a-mason-jar.html">homemade ice cream in a mason jar</a> (much better if you swap the heavy cream for half-and-half).<br /><br />Although it was a slow year for my hobbies, it was a busy work year at Dimagi. I told you in the <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2015/12/had-just-settled-our-brains-for-long.html">2015 holiday letter</a> about my first project, building contact tracing apps for Ebola. This year ‘contact tracing’ got a lot more attention than it has in the past and we did the <a href="https://dimagi.com/covid-19/">most work we’ve ever done in the US</a>. I’m proud to work at an organization that is assisting with pandemic response. <br /><br />Here’s me at a meeting with some colleagues one of the last days before the office closed:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfujclNQsUYH5Tkc48D_Q_m6V3qJkUOX00wb7Av2TeISFD9JDcLSdMx7S2LEzCtMFJIf4VKSV0ecUm6UwV8mPK5ppurrXzmFPS-ZCKJWIM2AgtcD5kewAytvAWBAv2oB5QiBbDF6RDGbTO/s2048/image2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1539" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfujclNQsUYH5Tkc48D_Q_m6V3qJkUOX00wb7Av2TeISFD9JDcLSdMx7S2LEzCtMFJIf4VKSV0ecUm6UwV8mPK5ppurrXzmFPS-ZCKJWIM2AgtcD5kewAytvAWBAv2oB5QiBbDF6RDGbTO/s320/image2.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div>It was a year of big milestones for my nieces. Lindy graduated from high school (virtually) and started college remotely this fall at UNC Charlotte (from the dining room table). Kate graduated from UNC Greensboro and has started her first year of teaching dance in a public elementary school in Graham, NC (between Raleigh & Greensboro). I think being a first-year teacher is probably pretty hard. I think teaching dance over zoom to kindergartners has been a real challenge and she is looking forward to meeting some of her students in person soon.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVrhQcWs_w4bw6_2z0oaULvSJCsRT9DVmlnbHy0z_h4nfhPh7t4dZ-ENZ7Q3RVtV5qNN3tBdMmPS46bmVe2gi9STbBi5jbFcD6mRIDCXt3-H2A0sltUZgrp6PSpULwhvtpccA94SC0weRP/s960/IMG_9308.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVrhQcWs_w4bw6_2z0oaULvSJCsRT9DVmlnbHy0z_h4nfhPh7t4dZ-ENZ7Q3RVtV5qNN3tBdMmPS46bmVe2gi9STbBi5jbFcD6mRIDCXt3-H2A0sltUZgrp6PSpULwhvtpccA94SC0weRP/s320/IMG_9308.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I hope in 2021 we can all get back to seeing each other more and more of what we love.

My year ended on a high note with something of an impromptu reunion call with a few of the wonderful friends I played ultimate within Ambush over a decade ago. You can match these same beautiful faces from my 2004-2006 holiday letters. I guess were it not for the pandemic we might never have had a reason for a reunion conference call, so that is a tiny silver lining from all this.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOAXDufMdQ82lLXMb4ZEY2qmXync_75R3kFKTi5r-fDre4Y3WPT7E_3Ptc2144JbE4A1IvbHlxO89OlA7QOtlcfTpC3sBlG_70hEwB7zoxNyvxjSFHD4OMrTcu4EwBh9JrKMg6iYqzAeX/s2048/Screen+Shot+2020-12-21+at+8.53.57+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOAXDufMdQ82lLXMb4ZEY2qmXync_75R3kFKTi5r-fDre4Y3WPT7E_3Ptc2144JbE4A1IvbHlxO89OlA7QOtlcfTpC3sBlG_70hEwB7zoxNyvxjSFHD4OMrTcu4EwBh9JrKMg6iYqzAeX/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-12-21+at+8.53.57+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Most years I close the email by saying something like, ‘if you swing through Boston, be sure to let me know and we’ll grab a coffee or beer’, and that doesn’t really seem to apply this year.

I spent much of the first half of 2019 in Delhi working on a <a href="https://www.dimagi.com/blog/mobile-data-collection-nutrition/">large project</a> there.<br />
<br />
While most of the time in India was heads down in our office in Delhi, I did get away to spend a weekend sightseeing Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, a large state in India near Delhi. The whole city is filled with beautiful, amazing architecture. Here’s the entryway for my hotel:<br />

In April, I was delighted to have Caitlin and Keri up from Philly to visit for a fun weekend. Here’s a photo of us hiking in the <a href="https://www.hikingproject.com/trail/7087206/ponkapoag-bog-boardwalk">Blue Hills Reservation on the boardwalk in Ponkapoag pond</a>. The hike is listed as ‘easy’ level of difficulty but that is not my recollection of the rolling and pitching boards.<br />

In May, I was honored to be invited to attend Claude’s graduation from the University of Rochester. Claude was a student who I had the <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2013/11/6-futures.html">opportunity to work with</a> while I was a fellow at <a href="https://www.asyv.org/">ASYV</a>. It was fun to go back to visit the city of Rochester, not having been there since 1997 or so when my parents lived near there in Victor, NY. The ceremony was beautiful and Claude has a lot of accomplishments to be proud of. After graduation he moved to NYC for a software development job for now. I’m still looking forward to working for him someday.<br />

I spent a big chunk of the month of July in my sister Lynn’s beach house on Oak Island, NC. Thanks so much to Lynn, Robbie, Lindy and Kate for hosting me and taking such good care of me! My nieces Lindy and Kate are now seniors in High School and College respectively and we are all so proud of them and curious to see what comes next. Kate has already started student teaching and is still very active in dance and choreography. Lindy has been accepted to several schools so tune in to next year’s holiday letter for the big reveal.<br />
<br />
In August, I was invited to the beautiful wedding of my cousin David to Hannah. We’re lucky to welcome Hannah to our large, and sometimes boisterous, family and it was fabulous to see all of my Louisville family at the celebration. Here’s me and Lynn enjoying the reception out on the Ohio riverbank:<br />

I’m still running a bit and trying to keep active. I’m playing some pickup ultimate on Sundays with good weather and in a <a href="https://www.buda.org/">BUDA </a>Grand Masters league a few weeks a year. I also ran a couple of road races this year and recently found a <a href="http://www.kbfreedomrunners.com/">wonderful club</a> that meets on Tuesdays and Sundays to run around Cambridge. When I realized how close the group meets to my home (very) I decided the universe was trying to tell me something so I decided to check it out and I’ve had a blast meeting tons of friendly new people. Here’s me and my friend Julie in September at the Salem 10K after party:<br />

In October, I had a great series of internal meetings in our Cape Town office and had the time to <a href="https://bbqboy.net/essential-must-hike-cape-town-lions-head/">hike up Lion’s Head</a> with a few colleagues. Cape Town is a beautiful city and I’m always energized by spending time with the team.</div>

While I was at Mom's house last week in Louisville my Uncle Bill handed me a flash drive he had found in my mom's boxes while unpacking. I told him to throw it out, it was probably trash. He handed it to me anyway, and I planned to throw it out later. I decided to glance at it for a quick check before I trashed it and of course, it is a gold mine. Thank you Uncle Bill!<br />
<br />
The flash contained the original upon which my annual imitation is based, the Mike Kelly Xmas letter from 2001 through 2009, his final letter. I'd never read them through in one sitting, rather each year when the new edition came out. Read sequentially they reveal what we all already know, he was a man who loved has family deeply, valued his friends, took his work seriously and was so, so funny.<br />
<br />
The measure of any year for me was the mentions in the annual letter and I'm proud to say I make most of these, but of course cannot compete with the granddaughters.<br />
<br />
I can't get his permission to republish them, but I am pretty sure he would be okay with it, as he mailed these out to hundreds of people each year. Here, unedited, are some Mike Kelly Xmas letters 2001-2009:<br />

and best wishes to all our good friends. We had a wonderful year, and we hope
you did too.<o:p></o:p></div>

Wheatley visited us again in the spring and brought his Mom & Dad with him.
Kate, Lindy, Lynn & Robbie visited in July. The girls really enjoyed
Gettysburg and Land of Little Horses. In July the Corcorans and the McElwaines
from Belfast came to Myersville for a fun visit. The children played all day
with the dogs and the mini horses, Belleek & Ash. Tim, Mary Helen, Sam
& Lucy Blue also visited us; the children really enjoyed the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Courtney and her Ultimate team stayed with us
in August. We never did get a good head count, but there were more than a few
players.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barbara and I went to Oak Island twice
this year, once with the “big family”. We also traveled to Raleigh for the
Annual Oyster Roast. We drove to Louisville for Thanksgiving where we had an
awesome visit. Thanks to Cathy, Joe, & Lucas for the hospitality.<o:p></o:p></div>

This year we
lost our beloved Golden, Maggie May, after 14 & 1/2 years; we really miss
her. We rescued two new dogs, Goofus and Penny Too. Our current animal count is
4 horses, 3 dogs & 2 cats. <o:p></o:p></div>

</span>Our jobs have changed this year. I got tired of being unemployed, so I
retired. I’m still not having any problem with the spare time. Courtney left
Accenture and is now working 3 days a week for Perfect Sense Digital. She has
moved to Brooklyn and is very happy with both changes.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lindy’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Research Project
has developed a drug that is being tested in a clinical trial at Chapel Hill.
We are all very hopeful that it will produce positive results. Thank to all of
you who helped make this possible.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks also you all for your prayers and
good thoughts for Lindy. She is continues to do well & is enduring second
grade grade. Our Kate is doing very well in 6<sup>th</sup> grade and is
enjoying her dance company. She is beginning to act like a teen.<o:p></o:p></div>

We are
fortunate to have had several family members visit our home this year. Joe,
Cathy & Luke Wheatley along with Matt, Mary, Claire, Gracie, & Elise
Elder visited in April. Luke also played is a jazz festival in D. C. in
October.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kate & Lindy along with
Lynn & Robbie visited us twice this year. Courtney spent Thanksgiving with
us. She is working in Minneapolis for the winter (brrr).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also spent several weeks at Oak Island..<o:p></o:p></div>

My news is
that last December I had a seizure and was diagnosed with epilepsy. It is under
control with medication now, but I spent 8 months unable to drive myself; your
sympathy should go to Barbara.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Second, I
am part of a RIF at EDS. My last of work was December 1, 2008. I am deciding
now whether to retire or find another job.<o:p></o:p></div>

</span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lindy continues to have clean scans, so we are
truly blessed. Barbara continues to be heavily involved in fund raising for
Lindy’s Neuroblastoma Research Project at UNC Children’s Hospital. This year we
had a memorial auction in Myersville as well as the traditional Oyster Roast in
Raleigh to raise funds. A new drug combination has been developed for children
who have relapsed with neuroblastoma; results are promising. A full clinical
trial should begin soon. We pray we will never need it.<o:p></o:p></div>

Barbara &
I were able to spend 10 days at Oak Island in March and again in July. I have
determined that when retirement does come, I will be able to handle it just
fine.<o:p></o:p></div>

The highlight
of our year was a 12 day trip to Australia to visit Courtney. John & Vicki
Cadden joined us on the memorable trip. We flew from Dulles to LAX to Sydney.
Spent 2 days touring Sydney. Then we flew to Melbourne. We stayed at the
Citigate Hotel in the center of downtown Melbourne. Melbourne is a great
metropolitan city with a multinational culture; we met some really nice people.
We spent 3 days driving the Great Ocean Road along the coast of the South
Ocean. The scenery along the coast is unforgettable, and the people we met at
the B&Bs and bars were interesting folks. One amazing day, we walked
through a rain forest and watched Koalas up close in the wild. We also spent 2
days touring the Yarra Valley wine country. Again, the scenery was amazing and
the people were even better. We flew Quantas both ways and were pleased with the
flights.<u style="text-underline: words;"><o:p></o:p></u></div>

The Guptons
visited Myersville again this years at Thanksgiving. Both Kate & Lindy are
becoming very good riders. McKenzie, their 22 year old pony, is going strong.<o:p></o:p></div>

</span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lindy has continued to have clean scans, so we
feel truely blessed. Barbara is heavily involved in raising funds for Lindy’s
Neuroblastoma Research Project at UNC Children’s Hospital. This year we were
informed that the research has found an existing drug that may be effective at
killing neuroblastoma cells. This is great news, because a new drug can take
many years to be developed and licensed. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a great year in 2006. Everyone is
doing well, and Lindy’s tests continue to be clean. She has another set
scheduled for late December. We made it to the beach at Oak Island 3 times this
year; March, July, and September. Several family members were able to share the
beach with us each trip.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barbara is heavily involved in raising
funds for Lindy’s Neuroblastoma Research Project at UNC Children’s Hospital.
She conducted a raffle of a beautiful Friendship Garden Quilt that was handmade
by Kathy Pascarella. With much help from friends and family in Kentucky, Maryland,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Texas &
Kansas, the raffle raised over $7500 for the research project. Robbie &
Lynn raised another $2700 at their annual oyster roast on November 4 at their
house in Raleigh.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barbara visited Louisville twice this
summer. The first time was to visit our niece, Madison Stitzer, while she was
recovering from successful knee surgery. The second time was to visit all the
cousins accompanied by Lynn, Kate, & Lindy. Then on December 1, we both
went to Louisville for the wedding of Kristin Gnau & Michael Earls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As always we enjoyed spending time with the
family on a visit that was all too brief.<o:p></o:p></div>

came to Maryland for a tournament again this year in August. It was great to
see all the girls again. Several of them stayed at our house, and the whole
team came for dinner one night.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lynn, Robbie, Kate, & Lindy visited us
in Myersville for 5 days at Thanksgiving. The girls had a ball riding &
grooming McKenzie. They both ride very well. They played ball with the dogs and
“rubbed” the cats. They both enjoy doing barn chores. Grammy & Granddad
enjoyed all the games we played. The Guptons also visited Disney World this
summer thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All our animals are doing well. Maggie at
age 11 is slowing down a little, but she still participates in all our
activities. McKenzie continues to be a great pony, and the girls love to ride
him. Our house is still listed for sale, but the housing market is slow here.
When it finally sells, we plan to move to North Carolina.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>2005
has been a very good year. We made several trips to Raleigh and to the beach at
Oak Island. Lindy’s scans continue to be clean and have now been extended to 3
month intervals. We continue to be grateful for the excellent care she is
receiving at NC Children’s. Barbara is very involved in fund raising for the NC
Children’s Neuroblastoma Research Project.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
spent a week at the beach at Oak Island in March and 10 days in September with lots
of the family. Continuing our hurricane tradition, we observed Ophelia up
close.<o:p></o:p></div>

July we traveled to Kentucky for Adam and Zaney Stitzer’s wedding. Barbara met
some very nice people at McDonald’s in Grayson, Kentucky where she left her
purse on the way home.<o:p></o:p></div>

Robbie, Lynn, Kate, and Lindy visited Myersville in July and again for
Thanksgiving. The highlight of both visits was the daily ride on McKenzie, our
Morgan pony. Both girls are getting to be very good riders and enthusiastic
horsewomen.<o:p></o:p></div>

August, Courtney’s Ultimate team, Ambush, played in a tournament a few miles
from here.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -9.0pt; margin-right: -.25in; margin-top: 0in;">
Several of the women stayed with
us, and the whole team came here one night for dinner. We really enjoyed their
visit and the opportunity to get to know them.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Our
big news is that we are planning to relocate to North Carolina. We listed our
house in September. I have changed job responsibilities, and can now work from
home in Carolina providing I can get a high speed internet connection at home.
We installed a cable modem here in Myersville in September, and I am now
working from home 2 days a week.<o:p></o:p></div>

We still have 2

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2004 began full of fear and adversity for
our family, but has ended on a note of thankfulness and hope. As you all know,
our granddaughter Lindy was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a virulent childhood
cancer, in August 2003. Since then, she has had 2 major surgeries, several
months of chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant and radiation. <b>The treatment
has been successful</b>, and she is now on a regimen of periodic scan
monitoring and preventive retinoic acid. We are all grateful for the excellent
treatment she received at NC Children’s Hospital and Duke University Medical
Center.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -9.0pt; margin-right: -.25in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since the radiation treatment was completed
in April, Lindy has continued to improve. She is a happy, active two year old,
and is not experiencing any of the major post treatment side effects that we
were warned about. Kate has been a model big sister during this process, and
has been a major factor in maintaining Lindy’s happy outlook. Lynn & Robbie
have been unbelievably strong and competent throughout the treatment; their
dedicated participation has been one of the most significant factors in the
success of the treatment so far. Now we anticipate a wary couple of years as Lindy
is monitored to detect any recurrence of the cancer. Barbara is raising funds
to support a neuroblastoma research project at NC Children’s.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoBlockText" style="margin-left: -9.0pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barbara and I have made
several trips to North Carolina this year. In May, we bought a beach house on
Oak Island with Robbie & Lynn. We have spent several great visits there
with the girls. In July and at Thanksgiving, the Guptons came to Myersville for
a visit. The girls had a great time with the horses and dogs here. In August,
my sister Katy and her husband Dan came for a short visit. We had a chance to
relax and enjoy their company for the first time in quite a while. We promised
to get together again soon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -9.0pt; margin-right: -.25in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In September, the Kelly, Gupton, Gnau, Elder
clan got together for a week at Oak Island. We had fine weather in Carolina
while Hurricane Ivan was pounding Florida. It was really fun to have all the
little ones (about 8) together on the beach. We will continue this annual event
as long as we are able.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -9.0pt; margin-right: -.25in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Courtney lives in New York City and is still
with Accenture on a project at AOL in Dulles, VA. She has visited Myersville
several times this year. We were also able to go to an Ultimate tournament that
her team entered in Virginia. The horses, dogs and cats are all doing well. I
am still working on the Navy Internet Project.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If
you visit the DC area, we would love to see you. Our house is located near
Hagerstown, about an hour from Washington, DC and Baltimore. 11908 Woodland Way
Rd., Myersville, MD 21773. Phone 301-293-4375. Email: <a href="mailto:barbandmike@webtv.net">barbandmike@webtv.net</a> or <a href="mailto:michael.w.kelly@eds.com">michael.w.kelly@eds.com</a>. Barbara and
I are very grateful for the support and prayers we have received from our
friends and family during this trying time. <o:p></o:p></div>

<h1>
Peace on Earth<o:p></o:p></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 8;"> </span>December,
2003 <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year from the Kellys.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>2003 has
been a tough year for the Kellys and the Guptons. Lindy was diagnosed with
cancer in July, and has been undergoing extensive treatment at NC Children’s
Hospital in Chapel Hill ever since.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In July,
Lynn, Robbie, Kate (age 5) and Lindy (age 1) came to visit us in Myersville for
a week. We had a great time. Both girls rode McKenzie, our pony. Lindy ate
blackberries and blueberries straight off the bushes. Kate helped Barbara groom
all the horses. Both girls loved the dogs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>But when
they went home, Lindy was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare, virulent type
of cancer in children. Lindy immediately had surgery to remove the grapefruit
sized tumor. She then began a series of chemotherapy treatments that lasted
through the summer and fall. On December 1, she had a second surgery to
determine the effect of the chemo and to remove the remaining tumors. This
surgery was successful, and she is now continuing the chemo. She will have a
stem cell infusion in January and then radiation treatments. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In
September, Barb & I took Kate to the beach for a week with the family. Lynn
& Robbie stayed in Chapel Hill and nursed Lindy through one of the chemo
treatments. We had a great time with the family and all the little ones. We
watched Hurricane Isabel go zipping by, but our thoughts were in Chapel Hill
with Lindy. We are looking forward to taking Kate & Lindy to Oak Island
next year. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The horses,
dogs and cats are all doing well. I am still working on the Navy Internet
project. Courtney still lives in New York City and has been working on an
Accenture project at AOL in Dulles, VA this year.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We are spending a lot of time in North
Carolina these days, but if you are in the DC area when we are home, we would
love to see you. Our house is located near Hagerstown, about an hour from
Washington, DC and from Baltimore. 11908 Woodland Way Rd., Myersville, MD
21773. Phone 301-293-4375. Email: <a href="mailto:barbandmike@webtv.net">barbandmike@webtv.net</a>
or michael.w.kelly@eds.com.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Barbara and
I are very grateful for the support and prayers we have received from our
friends and family. We know Lindy can get through this, and we believe that
every prayer helps. Please accept our sincere thanks for all your help and
prayers. In the difficult times, a note or a call from a friend has made a huge
difference. 2004 will be a better year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Peace on Earth<o:p></o:p></h1>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 8;"> </span>December,
2002 <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year from the Kellys.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year we
decided to add a granddaughter to the family. Lindy Michael Gupton was born on
June 21 to Lynn and Robbie. Kate is enjoying the Big Sister role, and is a real
help to Mom and Dad. At 6 months, Lindy weighs 15 pounds and can almost read
and write.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barb and I spent a
week with the Guptons at Oak Island, NC in September. We had great weather and
a great time with the girls. Bill, Mary, and Madison Stitzer joined us at the
beach. Vicki and John Cadden also joined us later in the week. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lynn, Robbie, Kate
& Lindy came to our house in Myersville for Thanksgiving. Courtney and her
friend Sara spent Thanksgiving with us as well. Barbara and Kate made a great
turkey dinner, and we had fun with the kids.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a tough
year with the horses. In January, Frisco died of a thyroid condition after an
illness of several months. Barbara tried everything to save him, but finally we
had to let him go. On Labor Day, she bought Scott, a beautiful 12 year old
thoroughbred. He has been a race horse and more recently a hunter jumper; he is
adjusting nicely to dressage at our house. In November, McKenzie, an 18 year
old Morgan pony, came to live with us. He is Kate’s pony, and she had a great
time riding and grooming him at Thanksgiving. He is big enough for Barbara to
ride, and is a fun little guy. Rip, our old walking horse, is still here as
well, and I try to ride him once a week.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Goldens,
Maggie and Abbey, and the cats, Pika and Agora, are all doing well. They are
enjoying life and keeping Barbara busy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am still working
on the Navy Internet project with EDS. I have deployed sites in six different
cities this year; each site takes about a week. Courtney is living in New York
and still working for Accenture. After several months in St. Louis, she is now
working on an AT&T account in North Jersey. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our house is
located near Hagerstown, about an hour from Washington, DC and from Baltimore,
so if you are in the area, please plan to visit us. 11908 Woodland Way Rd.,
Myersville, MD 21773. phone 301-293-4375. Email: <a href="mailto:barbandmike@webtv.net">barbandmike@webtv.net</a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or: michael.w.kelly@eds.com.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2001 has been a
quiet year for us. We are enjoying our home atop the Blue Ridge in Myersville,
Md. I am now working on the Navy Internet project for EDS, constructing PC
networks at Navy facilities around the country. We are close enough to North
Carolina and to New York City to see Lynn, Robbie, Kate and Courtney fairly
often.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lynn, Robbie, and
Kate still live in Cary, NC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lynn is
expecting another baby in July, so it looks like this grandparent business is
really picking up. Barb and I really enjoy the time we spend with Kate.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Courtney lives in
New Your City and still loves it. She is able to be in this area and visit us
from time to time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were fortunate
to have several groups of friends visit our house this year. We also spent a
week with the family at Oak Island Beach in North Carolina.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are located
about an hour from Washington, DC, and from Baltimore, so if you are in the
area, please plan to visit us. 11908 Woodland Way Rd., Myersville, MD 21773. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
2017 was another busy year. I spent most of the year busy at work for <a href="https://www.dimagi.com/">Dimagi</a>. I traveled again this year to Delhi and Cape Town for work. I am lucky to have amazing colleagues in both locations and it is always hard to say goodbye when it is time to return home.<br />
<br />
In Cape Town, for fun, I went snorkeling with seals. It was a truly amazing experience. They can swim so fast, and swim right up to you and then at the last minute dart around you. They were gorgeous and curious and reminded me of ocean dogs.<br />
<br />
In April, I visited my mom in her new home in Louisville, Kentucky for her 70th birthday. It was a great party! (Apparently I had so much fun at the party I didn’t stop to snap a single photo, so you’ll just have to trust me that mom looked great!) Mom has settled right in to her new home and is enjoying spending time with nearby family. I’ll be in Louisville with her and the dogs visiting aunts, uncles and cousins for Christmas. <br />
<br />
Summers in New England are beautiful and I did a little exploring of New Hampshire hiking this year:<br />

This summer I worked for ten days from beautiful Sayulita, Mexico, where I visited one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Next time you see me, ask me to tell you about my return trip saga, but probably best for not while you are eating. Here’s me and some colleagues on a boat tour of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islas_Marietas_National_Park">Marieta Islands</a>:<br />

And here’s me at one of the great taco stands in town drinking a Michelada bigger than my head for 25 pesos.<br />
<br />
I also spent five days in August with the whole team together for our annual summit at a beautiful beach house in Cohasset, MA. This is a rare treat as we typically have teammates working in far flung places such as in Haiti, Uganda, and Guatemala so that even selecting a time zone for a group call is a struggle. It was really wonderful to all be in the same room. We had some training sessions on topics like optimizing data for reporting and project scoping, and also ate like kings and queens (Xian’s dumpling night!) and told ghost stories. It was a blast.<br />

In August I also went up on the roof (like a genius) with some colleagues to look at the eclipse. In Boston, you really couldn’t see too much. It was still a fun break in the day.<br />

This fall, I was invited by USAID to participate in a panel on Tuberculosis. I learned a number of things from this conference, among them never to trust them when they say they tested the AV, and that one’s bio cannot be too short.<br />
<br />
Outside of work, I played <a href="https://www.buda.org/">BUDA</a> league ultimate in Boston this spring and fall and ran a couple half marathons (slowly). I have determined that by not training for the race, I can save myself many hours, but only lose about fifteen minutes on race day.<br />
<br />
I am enjoying watching the NBA this season and have been to a couple hometown Celtics games. They are a fun team to watch.<br />
<br />

I had a wonderful visit in October this year from the four Stouts. It was great to see tiny Lucia and get to spend some time with Viviana. (Their parents, Jen and Brian, are still pretty cool too.) I also had a quick visit from the newlyweds Julie Sussman and Dan Bush in December. If you are passing through Boston, please do let me know. I am always delighted to have guests. I promise to offer you something to drink and tell you where we can go to get something to eat.<br />
<br />
I visited my sister Lynn, brother-in-law Robbie and my nieces in Raleigh in July and again for Thanksgiving. Kate is a sophomore in college about to study abroad next semester in New Zealand. Lindy is a sophmore in highschool taking AP classes and dancing and playing for the tennis team. She has her learner’s permit now so probably best to stay off the roads in the Raleigh area. My nieces are bigger now, but still very adorable:</div>

Wishing you peace in 2018. Happy New Year!<br />

I hope you had a wonderful 2016. I know what <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ6WPo-oW5Q">John Oliver had to say about it, </a>but for me 2016 was an all time great. For me, 2016 was filled with amazing experiences in India, Turkey, Rwanda and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Square,_Cambridge">Central Square,</a> Cambridge. I’ve enjoyed being settled in Cambridge and exploring Boston a bit. Regular readers will note that this, the 13th annual edition of my holiday letter is one of the latest editions ever (Dec. 24!) and that is just one more data point that this whole year really raced ahead of me. All through 2016 work was <i>beyond busy</i>, but I continue to love the colleagues and the content and I’ve never done more interesting work with a more talented team.<br />
<br />
This year for <a href="http://www.dimagi.com/">Dimagi</a> I continued to work with my Cambridge-based Global Services team who is delivering a wide range of projects in Haiti, Nepal, Seattle, Ghana and many places in between. I also spent a fair bit of time working on my own project, a large comprehensive app to streamline treatment of Tuberculosis patients in India. That project team is huge, committed and inspiring and I’m lucky to be a part of the effort. 2016 had 2 more trips to Delhi (and I finally made it to Mumbai, thanks Anushree!). On a trip in July, I attended a fabulous wedding of a colleague and got Mehndi decorations done on my hand:<br />

I spent a week working in Cape Town in April and it was great to climb <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2008/01/cape-town-yes-you-have-confirmation.html">Table Mountain again</a>. I also attended some fascinating conferences this year, one on Innovation held in the main assembly hall in the UN in NYC (yes, used the cool translating headset) and also joined the <a href="https://www.worldhumanitariansummit.org/">World Humanitarian Summit</a> in Turkey. Istanbul was a great city and I hope to visit again with a bit more time. Our team had a fun off-site retreat in New Hampshire in September and I’d like to go back there for a longer spell as well. Add it to the list!<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />

While busy with work, (did I mention work??) I also had a really fun year. Working from a <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2973920">Tiny House</a> for a week in Vermont made a particularly busy time at work more pleasant, and now I know where I want to retire. Thanks to Keri for driving up from Philly to cap off the trip with a birthday celebration!<br />
<br />
Now for the <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2012/06/well-if-you-follow-me-on-twitter-then.html">time warp:</a> In March, I visited Raleigh to see Kate’s senior dance with the <a href="https://www.artstogether.org/rainbow-dance-company/">Rainbow Dance Company</a>. It was beautiful and Lindy was great in her dances as well. Kate is loving being a freshman at UNC Greensboro (Deans List!) and Lindy is a freshman at Cary High and the second tallest member of the family! (Fine, a low bar but still... She is the baby!) I also got to see the nieces at the beach in August, over Thanksgiving and I’m writing this right now from my sister Lynn’s house in Raleigh for a few days near Christmas.<br />

This year I went to Yellowstone National Park for the first time. It was so cool and I can’t believe I waited this long. The Grand Tetons, really are grand. Old Faithful really is faithful. It was a beautiful trip. If you haven't been, go. If you have, go again!<br />

In October, I took an amazing journey back to the <a href="http://asyv.org/">Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village </a>to see the young ladies of <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-young-ladies-of-eleanor-roosevelt.html">Eleanor Roosevelt family</a> graduate from High School. It was wonderful to be back in such an amazing place and I’d forgotten how much I love it there. Ornella was the valedictorian and gave a rousing, inspiring speech. I am so proud of her. The sky is just the beginning!<br />

I also took a quick side trip to nearby DRC to hike up the Virunga volcano. Without being too dramatic, I'm pretty sure it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Thanks to Avi for singing me down the mountain on the hike back down when my fear of heights kicked in. If you can think of an excuse to get there, it’s an amazing view.<br />

Looking ahead to 2017, I’ll be back to Delhi and Cape Town at least and I expect another trip or two will pop-up. If you’re swinging through Boston try to give me some warning and I'll try to be there as well! <br />
<br />
Wishing you Peace on Earth and Happy New Year!<br />

Personally, I'm shocked that it's already time for my annual holiday letter. 2015 flew by in a crazy, fun, wonderful rush. I can't think of a year where I've had more fun or learned more new things.<br />
<br />
This year's missive comes to you from Cambridge, MA where I relocated from Washington, DC in May. I'm a bit trepidatious about the onset of my first Boston winter, but my first New England summer was beautiful. Cambridge is a cool town and I've really enjoyed exploring the area.<br />

2015 started out with a busy period at work for GlobalGiving and some <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2015/02/paid-in-full.html">fun trips to NYC</a>. We had a cool work outing to the Truman Bowling Alley below the White House.</div>

Leaving DC was a tough decision. I left some true friends behind there and I miss the whole gang at GlobalGiving. Thanks to those of you who helped with the move and all the fun send-offs. I did get back to DC for a conference in November and at least got to see those shining faces for a minute. Thanks to Ingrid, Sarah and Stacey for all taking a shift hosting me on that visit.<br />

Everyone is welcome to visit me in Cambridge. The new apartment is really close to work (3 minute walk commute!) and near a T stop and has a futon with your name on it. I already enjoyed hosting Dorko and the <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2015/12/halloween-half-marathon-visits-visits.html">Stouts (now 3!)</a>. Let me know when you are coming to town.<br />
<br />
The move to Cambridge was for a new job with <a href="http://www.dimagi.com/">Dimagi</a>, a technology based social enterprise. This is the best job I've ever had and I love going to work every day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dimagi does all kinds of innovative and impactful work, but our main product is a platform for the creation of mobile applications that can be used to facilitate development programs. Imagine an app on a phone or tablet that helps a community health worker to do their job better. We're proud to be funded by grant-makers like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and USAID and also by the software subscription fees of our partners like WorldVision, UNICEF and The Harvard School of Public Health. So far, I've worked on projects to help track Ebola contacts and support Ebola recovery as well as a project in 7 countries to help women have better access to family planning. My role on our Global Services team is dead center of the intersection point between my technology and consulting background and my passion for trying to be a part of the solution to the complex problems of our day. From the C-suite to the newest intern, every member of this special group is equal parts zaney, genius, driven, courageous, hilarious, compassionate and empathetic. I've never come across a team this strong and I think there's probably an HBR case to be written on how this start-up created the culture in which we do our work. Do I sound like a zealot? Like I said, it's been a great year.<br />
<br />
I had the chance to meet our team in Delhi and visit several of our projects in India in April. It was my <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2015/05/3-weeks-in-delhi.html">first trip to India</a> and I'm really looking forward to going back.<br />

In August. I had the chance to <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2015/09/sierra-leone-at-end-of-epidemic.html">travel to Sierra Leone</a> to support <a href="http://www.dimagi.com/blog/how-mhealth-is-aiding-the-fight-against-ebola-in-sierra-leone/">our work in Ebola response and recovery</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It was eye-opening to see so many international organizations and so many levels of government pull together to respond to the epidemic. As I type this, <a href="http://apps.who.int/ebola/current-situation/ebola-situation-report-16-december-2015">there's been no cases for the last 3 weeks</a> and everyone doing this work has their fingers crossed we'll make it to January 14 with no new cases and this long, hard fight can turn to focus fully on recovery and health system strengthening.<br />

While I enjoyed and learned so much on my trips to Delhi and Freetown, I spent the bulk of the year in my home office in Cambridge, supporting team members working in Haiti, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Ghana and all over the world. My new family in Cambridge is an absolute riot. There's always someone's birthday or a party or a road race to keep me entertained. For example right now we're currently in the midst of a worldwide <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZQA08SlJnM">Burpee</a> contest for December, and I'm in the top 5 with 1004 done so far.<br />

Between adjusting to the new job and the move to a new city, I probably didn't spend quite enough time with my family this year. Mom is recovering from a major back surgery and continues to manage a large menagerie in North Carolina. I did get to spend spring break with Kate and Lindy and their parents in Rincon, Puerto Rico. (Thanks to Lynn & Robbie for taking me on that trip.) I'm looking forward to seeing the fam again in Raleigh over Christmas. Somehow, while I wasn't looking Kate and Lindy grew up. <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2012/06/well-if-you-follow-me-on-twitter-then.html">Sweet baby Kate</a> is a <b>high school senior</b> excited to be accepted by UNC Greensboro into their dance program. Lindy (8th grade) is still running the whole family like the mafia don she has always been. Don't let the sweet smile fool you.<br />
<br />
I saw my extended family on my mom's side in Louisville over Thanksgiving and, as usual, was treated like royalty. Extra special thanks to my cousin Lucas who gave up his room for the trip and the Gnau's who took me to a UK vs. U of L football game.<br />

Once again I was welcomed by my extended family to Louisville, Kentucky over Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful traditional dinner on Wednesday evening and went to Churchill Downs for the races and a buffet on Turkey Day. I had a great time with my whole family, especially my Aunt Cathy, Uncle Joe & cousin Lucas who hosted my mom & I for the whole trip. Also thanks to Aunt Joanna, Uncle David, Emily and David who took me to a rainy rivalry NCAA game between the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville.<br />

That is probably because blogs were a thing back in 2007. Follow me on twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/CourtneyMFK" target="_blank">@CourtneyMFK </a>if you want more current updates. Also, I've been hella busy, but in a great way. I'm really loving Cambridge and the new job. I had a fun work trip to DC in early November and I got to see my friends Sarah, Ingrid, Stacey and a lot of folks at GlobalGiving. Thanks to everyone for welcoming me back!<br />

They're doing great. It was so good to see them. They think it's cold now, so February will be rough, but we had a good time checking out the city together and I was glad to see they are getting settled in so well.<br />

Sierra Leone is so BEAUTIFUL. Perched on the edge of the sea. Every restaurant or hotel has an ocean view. Honestly pretty much wherever you go in Freetown there is a stunning ocean view. Beauty and inequity in large quantities as far as the eye can sea.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
What can I tell you? I got to see Sierra Leone at the end of an epidemic. All the aid and solutions got here too late and are staying here too long.<br />

I was driving down a highway from Kenema towards Freetown (near Bo) when it came on the radio that there were no new cases of Ebola (Monday August 17) . Zero for the first time in more than a year. I thought there would be more jubilation about no new cases. The response from the nationals around me was muted. It's as if they were thinking, "It’s one more thing… when will all these organizations and their bossy money and protocols leave? What will be the next scourge? Shrugs. "<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(*Since then another case has been found, and contacts are being traced. Hopefully this is near the end.)<br />
<br />
I had a great trip and learned a lot. I saw actual contact tracers doing their job in Northern Port Loko. It’s hard. Really hard, Imagine your mom just died of a strange and terrible disease. And imagine some foreigners came and told you not to bury her. And that they were taking the body. And also that you were now quarantined, (whether you have any food at home or not) and you have stay in your house under armed guard. And your crops in the field? They will fail. And others in the village that know you are trapped? They will kill and eat your goats. You are helpless and angry. And grieving.<br />

For a while people were starving in quarantine. Naturally, they would run, and break quarantine, and spread Ebola. Now the CDC supplies live chickens and pineapples and there are reports of people touching the dead to <b><i>GET INTO QUARANTINE</i></b> for the food. So god help us, you just cannot win. It makes sense to me why some who were supposed to be quarantined ran away to avoid starving and being trapped with sicker people. And it makes sense to me why someone with nothing might choose to get into quarantine to have enough to eat for a few days. And it makes sense to me why this epidemic is hard to contain. It is all mind numbing and also makes so much sense.<br />
<br />
Back to the contact tracer. It’s their job to walk up to this angry, grieving household every day and ask them how they are, and if they have a fever or vomiting and take their temperatures. And they try to not get Ebola themselves. And the people they are asking are maybe not that excited to see this stranger asking all these questions (Do you have diarrhea? How bad?). And maybe they call you a ‘busybody’ and tell you to get lost. And you need to get the data and report it and identify if anyone is symptomatic and have them sent to the ETU if they are. Everyone lies to you and distrusts you. And it’s your job. Good luck!<br />
<br />
On the trip I also got to visit some schools. ‘Schools’ really. Don’t get me wrong. They are doing their best, I met wonderful dedicated teachers and head teachers doing their job the best they can in very difficult situations. I spent a few hours at this school:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We were there to help them automate how they take attendance and also report other indicators to the school donors (Plan, Save the Children, and International Rescue Committee). These groups fund the schools and want to know, quickly and accurately, about attendance, and reading and math scores, and number of minutes of the day dedicated to reading and math, and number of teachers trained on their methods. All of this can be reported electronically and help the donor if the programmatic funds are being directed as they expect.<br />
<br />

This school has one big open room for two first grades and two second grades. Can you imagine if your first graders were subjected to distraction like that? There are no benches or desks so the students sit on the floor. The school is a primary school for about 400 students in the morning from 7:30 – 12:30, at 1:00 PM the school becomes a secondary school and older kids come until 5 PM. There’s no power in the school and when the rains come it’s quite dark inside.<br />
<br />
The teachers carefully take attendance in registers for the donors:<br />

<br />
I hope that some of the aid money to fight Ebola will help to strengthen local systems to provide better general health care going forward. This will require an effectively planning government. And coordination among agencies that did not exist prior to the outbreak. It's a tall order.<br />
<br />
The way money swirls all around but somehow doesn't seem to wet the parched areas at all feels familiar. While I was there the government was tearing down the slum residences and shops that are around my hotel. The government wants to improve the area for tourists and development. The residents have nowhere else to go and are angry. This was meters from my hotel:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">“The U.S. Embassy has received reports that the Government of Sierra Leone has initiated “Operation Take Control” in the Aberdeen area of Freetown as part of continuing efforts to fight crime. This operation entails the demolition of unlicensed shops, businesses and dwellings in Aberdeen and is expected to last for at least one week.<br /><br />So far it appears that the displaced people in Aberdeen are remaining peaceful but there is a visible police presence in the area. The U.S. Embassy in Freetown advises U.S. citizens to be cautious when going to Aberdeen in the coming days and avoid any public gatherings. Due to the extent of the demolition there is a possibility of spontaneous demonstrations breaking out in Aberdeen and the surrounding environs. ”</span><br />
<br />
“Operation Take Control” is actually operation piss off hundreds of poor, desperate people with nothing to lose. Their slum homes were demolished in the height of the rainy season. They are angry and marching, and throwing things at cars that go in and out of the hotel. They don't have much, but they now find themselves with ample debris. I can sympathize. I can see why the government wants to develop this area for tourists. With Ebola gone maybe the tourist dollars will return. That would be a boon for industry. But for hundreds of squatters, they are homeless in the rainy season and lost their small shops and cobbled together tarp tents. Now they sit among the ruins of their slums and don't have anywhere else to go.<br />
<br />
The CDC spent so much money here. Flying in doctors for four or six weeks rotations. That’s a week to learn what is going on, two weeks to do your job and a week to get ready to go home. Those flights are expensive. Everyone stayed in the Radisson Blu for $300 (or more) a night. Everyone has a car and a driver. It is big aid at its ugliest. I keep meeting amazing organizations doing special difficult work, and when I think what they could have done with small crumbs of this budget.<br />
<br />
Check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=107&v=aXonOcXS5m4" target="_blank">Anna from World Hope International</a>, she’s almost the only service provider of any kind for more than 400 disabled children in Freetown. Her budget is minuscule and she raises her own salary from emailing friends. Imagine what her thrift and skill could do with the kind of funds CDC and UNFPA and UNICEF are dropping on this place.</div>

I found out that <a href="http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/commercialappeal/obituary.aspx?pid=175347135" target="_blank">Josh was gone</a> today. For a while he was my partner in crime and there was no one I looked up to more.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
He took me to my first Les Savy Fav concert. And my first Interpol show. And we've closed a lot of bars together. He was funny, and smart, and I loved him. He left NY and I said I'd never forgive him. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
But I did, and I tried for a while to stay friends. Calling. Sending emails. Sending fake postcards. But he slipped away. (Years ago.) I thought he had just moved on, and I grieved, but now I wonder if there was something more to the loss of our connection. Maybe connecting was hard. Maybe he was busy fighting his own demons. I'm listing to playlists he made me in 2005 tonight on a loop.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
The first thing that comes to mind when I think about Josh was his love for Mission of Burma. I'll never hear that song Academy Fight Song without thinking of him. I went to see a MoB show with him, and made fun of the age of the band, renaming them SMT (Sweaty Man Titties). He laughed. And then he got mad. I'd insulted his idol. He was right. There's no space in this life to take down our idols. It's hard enough with them intact. </div>

<br />Oh dear. This feels very college-freshman-philosophy-class here. I guess I'm regressing.<br /><br />You know I love dogs. I was raised with Rebel, and Penny and <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-girl.html" target="_blank">Maggie </a>and they were part of the family. Penny was my only sibling after Lynn abandoned me for UNCW, and the family member, by far, that I missed the most when I left home for Georgetown. When I was working part-time for Perfect Sense Digital, I spent 8 hours a week <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2009/03/march-lion.html" target="_blank">working for Animal Care and Control in Brooklyn </a>walking shelter dogs that would be euthanized in a couple days. I like most dogs more than most people.<div>

In Delhi there were stray dogs everywhere. It was one of the first things I noticed on the taxi ride home from the airport with <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ7EvDP30FBaiMcG_LHnJfLsKHQNnGXQAMduHd8UrjVOQvt3nxu-KkkRPvIOKSTq92ODUf-CvXFrHt_75Y8lpo13_nB6LkcT-fY5QPzSoH0nXX94LZbIiVXQZMPjE7X1bP72tsBDJ0Sgde/s1600/IMG_1030.jpg" target="_blank">Sravan</a> at 3 AM. Everywhere on the highway. Plenty in the street in front of the Dimagi flat. I easily passed 50 of them on my 15 minute walk to work in C block Vasant Vihar. </div>

<div>
<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasant_Vihar" target="_blank">Vasant Vihar</a> is a bougie ambassador neighborhood where some of the ex-pats are walking pets on a leash. There is a pet store selling dog and cat food and toys. And right there out front of the store for your disjuncture-seeking brain there are innumerable stray dogs. Cute fluffy dogs with horrible open sores and flies in the sores like a Steinbeck novel. And the pets on the leash. And the stray dogs hit by the insane traffic but not killed and dragging their wasting paralyzed hind-quarters behind them for a few more days until they starve. And 1 billion people. And fertility clinics. <br /><br />I can’t really care about those stray dogs suffering. There are so many. Unlimited. I have to separate that out if I'm going to get out of bed. I wish <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer" target="_blank">Peter Singer </a>were here. It's like worrying about the suffering of pigeons. Or ants. Or the bacteria in my mouth when I brush my teeth. It’s vast an immeasurable and what is so much more important about the suffering I <u><i>see</i></u> than the suffering I know about but <u><i>don't see</i></u>? So I'll just push this suffering into the 'doesn't matter' category of suffering. That category is getting crowded. (See also: Boat Migrants, Guantanamo, <a href="http://courtneyspondence.blogspot.com/2013/02/can-you-outrun-that-malnourished.html" target="_blank">Rwandan children 'outside the fence'</a>.)<br /><br />The danger of shifting the dogs, who I care so much about reflexively, into this category is that to get them over there, you rip a hole wide enough that pretty much everything could go. Seems like getting people over there might just follow naturally.<br /><br />So I get up in the morning and I guess I can say I didn't create that situation, but then who did? Who exactly has to fix it? And if there's not one simple answer, and if there's not much likelihood that that a responsible governing body will fix it, then this is just the 'normal' we need to accept.<br /><br />And we can take some comfort in saying we try to do our bit. So I take a pay cut and work for a social enterprise that is trying to improve health outcomes for all kinds of interventions for the underserved populations around the world. And maybe if I help this organization to achieve its mission then the gradual improvement of outcomes reduces suffering some other way… Like a suffering offset. Feels thin and hollow.<br /><br />Then there's a suffering calculus. To live is to suffer. And how much do these stray dogs suffer. X amount? What does it matter if they suffer 2X or 10X? Or .01X? In the long range view the suffering will be gone. I know it hurt like hell when I tore my rotator cuff, but now that suffering seems not just distant but nonexistent. Pain in the past counts for nothing. Once I'm dead, will it matter how much pain I felt when I was alive? To who exactly? Ok so pain and suffering <i><u>don't matter</u></i>? Oh dear…</div>
