I am sad for Palestinian friends back in chicago. I am sad about the see? see? attitude coming from the current government in Israel. I am sad that it is looking more and more certain that the perps are foreign and not Americans (I wouldn't have believed it possible, given airport security). I am sad for a friend of sister's who was on the Logan flight. I am sad for my friend Roxanne whose family was barged to New Jersey and whose home is trashed. I am sad for a friend of a friend of a friend who called from the 102nd floor of tower 1 to say goodbye.

My personal inconvenience pales in comparison.

thank you, good friends. -- Mary Ann
