another morning
Another morning of waking up to news of disaster.... people my age are finally developing their own personal collection of where-were-you-when stories.

george & me
So my co-workers and I are sitting there in the gymnasium of the Boys & Girls Club. It's a packed house -- everyone's dressed spiffy and the women are all wearing lip gloss -- and waiting for the fateful words from the announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the president of the United States of America." Every half hour or so, the announcer begins in that mellifluous tone: "Ladies and gentlemen...." and continues: "Please turn your cell phones and pagers to 'off' or 'vibrate.'" It's a big let-down. We gaze around at the cameras, at the men with earpieces and trenchcoats. We are bored as hell.
More to come about my presidential morning.

people in kuwait
I know very little about Kuwait, except this: No one that I went to high school with and went to Wales with should be sent there. It just should not have to happen.

cool thing
The organization I work for runs workshops for parents on how to be better educators of their children, and we give each parent a book called Your Home Is A Learning Place. But we have lots of parents whose first language is Spanish. And the book doesn't come in Spanish. So without any prompting at all, one of our volunteers borrowed the book and said he'd get it translated. Yeah right, I thought. But he found people at his law firm to translate each chapter. One of them quietly handed the finished product to me at a workshop this week. It was a thick stack of about 70 pages, each chapter printed on a slightly different shade of white paper, or typed in a different font size or clipped with a different type of paperclip. You could tell eight people had contributed. How cool is that.
