AFTERMATH

It seems pretty trivial to write about a holiday letdown in the same 24 hours that 13000 plus people are swept away by a tsunami. In fact, most stuff pales when one compares. It is simply unimaginable.

They said that there was warning in most places; two and a half hours. But, somehow, people didn't or couldn't get out of the way. Some were snorkeling. Others were fishing. Most were just living in their little houses. You never know. The wheel turns.

As far as we are concerned, there wasn't all that much holiday to be let down from. We sort of did some things that could have happened on the actual holiday. A day late. We got a great boost by spending the day with Randy over from Long Beach and in a longish conference call to an esrose family get-together back east. There were some late Merry phone calls from other friends just catching up. So it was a pretty good day all in all on our side.

Say a prayer for the lost and lorn.
