Darfur

Some - hopefully - good news for poor Darfur, Sudan. The leaders of Sudan, Chad and Central African Republic met today in Cannes and declared they would not back rebels attacking each other's territory -- repeating a pledge that has failed to stop fighting in the past. Violence in Sudan's Darfur province has spilled over into the neighboring states, which accuse Sudan of supporting rebels launching cross-border attacks, exacerbating ethnic frictions and displacing tens of thousands of people.

More details in Le Monde - La tragédie du Darfour.

Thu eve

Got home a few minutes ago, 17 F and going down. Today I discovered my coat hood is incredibly helpful when it gets windy. I mean, it makes a huge difference, even with a hat on. I guess it's obvious, but I never realized how much so until the wind blew it back when I was walking towards the subway on 15th St.

Got a couple msgs from Suki, and Judit and Bobby emailed to let me know they got the trip to Barbados booked, I'd better get on in tonight since I will be gone over the weekend.
