pouring in

since i last posted, on sunday, we have received more and more news of the devastation here in thailand, and in the rest of this pocket of the world.

i know that i am feeling the way many of you are feeling- the death count keeps going up, and more and more bodies are found. cnn international is on right now, and the announcer is standing only meters away from about 40 bodies that have yet to be claimed- i think this is the case in many cities in asia right now.

to all of you who have emailed me, worried about taher and i, i thank you and assure you we are fine. we feel loved; we feel lucky in many ways.
