Bombs over ...

Ok, I finally was able to talk to my family in Burma this past weekend.
Whew!
The phone lines were dwn because they lived rather close to the markets where the bombs went off and my family heard one of them go off them and everything....

Sometimes I think I'm always on the brink of losing them. Sometimes i think already have and that I just don't know it yet. I know. Am Huge Pessimist.

It always remind me of the saying around the dinner table. "Hurry up and eat your food. If there was a war, you'd be dead by now". No one said that to be mean. Things were just that way. There was always a war somewhere in the country, so you learn to eat your food fast and you want your child to live so you tell them to eat fast too.
I wonder if there is a saying like that in other countries with frequent wars.

Maybe we should have a conference one day and talk about it.

The weather in L.A. is being weird again. It was super hot this weekend and now it's being all grey and pessimistic looking. Very fitting for Orlando Bloom, who's outside our window. Not Literally - There's been a giant poster of Orlando Bloom in "Kngdom of Heaven" out side our office window. He's in the midst of battle - dark blue skies- rocks falling, deep concentrated look on face as he is about to kill people - very fitting... war--- i guess if people are not living in it, they want to watch it on screen.
