You know, this is just a random aside, but I am so jealous of a friend of mine. I usually try to refrain from jealousy. It's so unseemly and unattractive in a person. However, I cannot help but sigh at a friend's recent dilemma. His girlfriend of about a year was offered a job in Mozambique. She did not want to leave him behind. He didn't want to be left behind.
So they decided to take a chance on love. And on Mozambique. On helping the little children. With the added benefit of escaping the Bush-controlled, create-your-own-reality, anything-goes, war-presidency, report-suspicious-behavior, bunker-buster zone that is DC of the moment.
So I am forced to admit it. I'm jealous -- why hasn't anyone asked me to go with them and help save the children of Mozambique. Why? It's so romantic; I can't stand it!
