Still here

Bomb blast reported today on the radio--somewhere in the center of town. Again, mercifully far from me and my friends. My life continues pretty much unaffected: took the Littles on a field trip to the bazaar today as a wrap-up on our fabric science unit. Saturday is Habibeh's 4th birthday and the entire school :) will be attending his birthday party. Life carries on, amid anxiety and sorrow.
