What’s going on with this crazy world? It scares me. And it’s depressing. Egypt is one of those places I’ve always wanted to go. Hope it all ends well there.

I had higher hopes yesterday than today. The Mubarak thugs are out in force and things are very ugly now.
I hope you get to take that trip very soon, Barbara.

I saw an interview with Dennis Kucinich and he said the very same thing about tectonic plates.
I thought of you today, thinking about the splayed fingers. All good thoughts from millions and millions around the world as we watch and hope for their justice.
