Thanks, people. Just waking up here, and the news exceed our worst fears. Thousands of people desperately calling up everywhere for their loved ones, and terrified when the phone rings, in case.... Yet life must go on unchanged, however trivial, else they win.

Philip, our thoughts and prayers are with France. As much as I like to think life must go on unchanged, it will not be the same. Here in the U.S, after 9.11, things changed but we have to get used to the "new normal". Look at the security checks at our airports, look at the armed forces at subway stations, look at the security checks just for going into museums, concerts, sports events that we didn't have to deal with before. They already won in some ways.
