As the scope of the horrific events in South Asia and Southeast Asia becomes more evident, it is killing me. The images of parents picking up the bodies of their dead children is haunting me, even in my sleep. This is truly the worst tragedy of my lifetime, and I just can’t see posting pictures of my baby, when innumerable people have lost so many babies.

I’m staying offline for a while.

Adios, 2004! You’ve been wonderful and terrible at the same time, and I hope your successor can ease up on the terror a bit.
