The guy who won yesterday's Boston Marathon was Robert Cheruiyot of Kenya. When he gets back home, his country will give him its highest award. He'll be known as a "Grand Kenyan".
That's the best I can do today. Ha Ha ! Yesterday sucked and it's hard to be funny today.It was a miserable day wherein 33 people got killed by some freaking nutcase at Virginia Tech, dead but still unidentified, who was screaming something about his girlfriend. And now we can begin a) the healing and b)the wait for a copycat crime somewhere else.
My son, who's studying in France this semester, has a best friend over there who goes to Virginia Tech. He's pretty shaken up as he gets the news from his buddy who was text messaged all day from friends on campus in Blacksburg and the news he was getting seemed to be accurate. It wasn't good. Even at a great distance, it affects me and my family. Six degrees of separation , so to speak.Basically we've just learned what its like to go shopping in Baghdad. How do you stop one nut who is willing to die. So I'm not in a funny mood.
