Just a quick update for all you worriers out there (hello, Parents!), as news of the gigantic earthquake yesterday in Indonesia siphoned at last to the States, I have been getting a buttload of emails from y'all wondering if I'm okay.

Never you fear -- I slept straight through it, and didn't feel a tremor.

That being said, please keep the Indonesians in your prayers in the coming weeks, because the 'quake and subsequent tsunami has been totally devastating to Sumatra.
