I'm glad you linked to it on your blog, too. And H.A. Page: thanks for the information about the Red Room. What a great blog that is! I loved Amy Tan's virgin blog post. I know just how she feels, posting and wondering if anything could possibly be interesting. Kay: So good to hear from you! And Gary: Thanks for the correction. I went and fixed it in the blog post. And then went to read your blog, and was very moved by your sorrow for Andrew Olmsted. I'm so sorry for your loss. Dorothy: It is an amazing story. I’m glad you linked to it on your blog, too.

This years-long series of reports by soldiers in Iraq/Afganistan, nurses at the front lines or at Veteran's hospitals, service-men and women in the throes of leaving, coping, or coming home has kept the war very, very Real to me (and dampened many Kleenexes.)
