KC in Cairo

We interrupt
this blog
for an update
on KC.

So I was
all ready
to post a blog
about Alex
going back to college...

...and more blogs
about the
snow
and
cold
in Indiana...

...and blogs
about my trip
to St Petersburg
for biking...

...and
photography.











But now
I have to write
about KC...

in the middle
of a
revolution!

It starts

innocently...

Freedom!

Tear gas!

Rubber coated bullets!

Water cannons!







Police who torture.

Tanks rolling 

under her balcony.

Their apartment
guarded 

by neighbors

with metal sticks 

and dogs.

Their 

apartment

shakes

from the screams

of fighter jets...

.....threatening 

the crowds.

Facebook
and

Twitter...

Email

and

cell phones...

...all shut down

by a government

that doesn't want 

the world 

to see...

Tom and I

are glued

to the Internet.

Aljazeera

brings us 

news of Cairo

24 hours a day.

And

we hear 

from KC!

Her program

is evacuating 

the kids....

Tomorrow

they fly

to Greece...

...if they

can get 

to the airport.

Kitty

is 

worried...
