The bad news out of New Orleans continues, the news out of Iraq is bad too. And from NY, I got an email that my old rabbi has died (UPDATE: here is an obituary).
About the only thing I can do from here is make a donation to the Red Cross.
If Katrina had hit a few weeks ago I could have taken the Red Cross training and gone there to help, but the semester has now started and I’m tied to SF for the next several months.
Bleh.
