I started a thread along these lines a year or so ago. It's here. Now I'm immensely relieved that my daughter and grandson live in Brooklyn, my son is back at his Dad's house just 45 minutes from me, while he's finishing a degree in modern languages, and my stepson was relieved of Peace Corps duty because Maruitania was getting too dangerous. (My stepson's barber had a photo of Osama up on the wall.) I feel a LOT better when my kids are within easy calling distance, when I don't have to calculate time differences of 8 hours, and when they'r3e not living where the busses are routinely blown up by terrorists.
