Oh dear, ita. I hope DVD commentary will provide a good distraction. Sweet dreams.

Hope you slept well, ita.

Oh! Just saw photos from China. So upsetting. The buildings just crumbled, it must have been terrifying.

Awful, isn't it. We did get an email from our CEO yesterday that our offices in Chengdu were damaged, but that no employees or their family members were injured. Seems kind of incredible.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The epicentre was (I think) over 60 km away from Chengdu, so it missed the brunt. But near the epicentre, a township of 10,000 lost about 75% of the population (current count), most of the other 25% are injured.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm stunned by the story of the woman, eight months pregnant, who was pulled out of rubble after two days. That's just incredible.

Punishingly Intricate

I'd have given you a whole loaf, but my coworkers were particularly burdened today, so you got screwed. I'm glad there was ANY left.

hah! Well, a whole loaf would have been too much for me. I mean I could have taken it with me on Friday to share with the other riders, I guess, but really that is a hearty 1/2 a loaf! And delicious! I had a sizeable chunk toasted with butter this morning. Yummy! (Also, a piece of toast w/ avocado...it's possible I'm carbo loading way more than I need to be.)

Hah! I just spent $10 on...something.

The numbers this morning are horrifying. 15,000 dead, another 40-50 thousand missing. Between natural disasters and man made disasters the news is very upsetting stuff. Bombs in India and Spain, in addition to the usual places of course.
