news, explosions in India

[netmouse]

sleigh has good comments about how the explosions that killed almost 200 people in India didn't make a dent in U.S. News yesterday. I'd heard about it because I mostly get my news from you folks (thanks, novapsyche).

Every so often I shudder to think of the cultural and informational bubble most of America seems to reside within.

But some things are still good. I was over at my mom's on Sunday, and Simpsons was on TV, and I hadn't seen that episode before, and it was good, and it made my mom smile (she had a hystorectomy on Friday and was looking kind of fragile), so that was good.

I don't think I knew about your mom. I really have been out of it. I hope she's alright.

Also, thanks for dinner last night. It was most excellent.

Mom's pretty good. just hurts her to sit, she says.

You're welcome for dinner. I was glad there was enough so everyone could get a taste of the pork. Tonight I'm going to cook up some italian sausage, I think, and use up that pasta sauce, and maybe make a big salad, sorting through the various bags of greens we have and throwing away whatever's no good.

I've lost the name of the carpet cleaners I was going to call. Please let me know what days next week you can be home for them to come.

Current plan is to be home all week.
