Heard the news this am around 6:30 ET and showered, dressed, and left. The commute was stressful, if only in my head, but at least it was pre-the main rush.
Are there posters in London? I feel confident that there are at least family members there: ita, Fay, Fiona, others? Can we do a check in?
I am waiting to hear from my brother's friends who work in the financial district and my Welsh friend who has friends who work for British tourism offices.
The head of our office brought in her two little dogs today. That is good, it will keep me from going all numby and shut down.
Man, I hate stuff sometimes.
7 blasts. On trains, then on a bus when people were sheparded out of the Underground.
We don't know where Tom's father or his best friends are.
Oh Nora, Tom, of course, how could I forget. hope contact is made soon.
Oh, {{Nora}}
ita, Fay, Fiona, others? Can we do a check in?
Jim and Am-Chau are also from the UK.
I just turned the computer on for the first time today, a few minutes ago, to the news.
Oh Nora, hugs to you and Tom, and all the 'ma in the world to keep his family safe and unharmed.
CNN was on at my doctor's office, where he was concernedly watching as his daughter was flying back from London today. Her plane should've taken off prior to the blasts, so she probably wasn't on the Tube.
I noticed that "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe" took credit, via a Web announcement. Guys? Web announcements != "Secret." Bombs not so good either.
The commute was stressful, if only in my head, but at least it was pre-the main rush.
Yes, the ride in this morning was very stressful. And I just learned that the NYPD will be doing drills outside work today.
You guys, everybody, please be OK, OK?
I can't think of anything to write that isn't really stupid, but just, take care, OK?
Nora, are you at work? At home? Anywhere next to Tom?
