Thanksgiving and Terror
Quite an exciting day today. Since moving to New York I have been fortunate enough to take my son to the house that Babe built before it closed and spend a lot of time with him at Coney Island this past summer - Coney Island's last season. Now, today, I took my son to his first Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade which, of course, he loved.
Despite the wonderful experience of watching my son's face light up at every site and sound of the parade, it's also been a somber day. I've spent the bulk of the past 24 hours following what's happening in Mumbai and talking with relatives there.
This Thanksgiving I can be very thankful that all of my family there are safe. I just wanted to post something on my blog about the terror attack there in the hope that people here in the States will keep the good people of India in their thoughts and prayers today.

I can't imagine what some people are going through.
Events like these certainly put people in my thoughts and prayers... I hope your relatives continue to have safety.
