Early yesterday morning I got on the
internet and checked the overseas news. Some genius decided that yesterday would be a good day to try to attack a convoy of "foreign troops" in
Ka bul. Knowing that John was traveling, and seeing no "I'm safe" email, I waited on pins and needles until he made his usual morning call. What a relief to hear his voice! John said he saw the same news article I did, and wondered why the coalition didn't put out some news of their own...(my guess is the attacker had lousy aim and injured no one but himself)...and thought he ought to email.
Ya think so?!
I told him to just go ahead and email next time. Every time.
Little things mean a lot.
This is from the 5 year anniversary, taken early this week. I had a hard time finding John in this photo, but Luci found him right away! 
Nice coincidence that John was there at the beginning of this office, and there again. There is one other person in both photographs, too--and I'm sorry I cannot remember his name.
