Bono, Not Sonny
Bono, an Irish musician, addressed several heads of state, including Bushy, on February 2 at the National Prayer Breakfast. If you think it's strange for a musician to address people at an event with the "Prayer" in the title, so did Bono. The speech is quite interesting, challenging, and worth the read.

Note: I'm really late on the band wagon here. Everyone and his brother posted a link to this speech over a month ago. I even watched the video before I came to Sierra Leone. But hey, better late than never.
I would have not done any better at the fruit market.
Here, we are deep (an exaggertion)in snow and the NCAA tournament. Ned and I filled out competing brackets. So far, two of my final four are out, but I’m still ahead of Ned!
I have a journal of things that I am thankful for. Many days I am especially grateful for a soft, warm, clean bed. I enjoy your blog entries, and am thankful for the perspective from another world. I am glad that you seem to be able to have some fun too.
