Egypt cut off

As we speak I am cut off from friends and family in Egypt. The government is worried because there is a HUGE protest planned for Friday around 1pm, 12 hours from now. 

There is a planned gathering to show support to Egyptians this weekend. If you are interested here are the details. https://on.fb.me/htvrFs on facebook. 

If you have any question about Egypt that I can clarify please let me know. No need to believe whatever rumors you hear. :)

    Incredibly scary times.  I had an Egyptian roommate when I was in my 20s.  I remember her saying, "We have had the same president for 16 years.  There is no democracy."  She was trying to get into yet another school program after 3 degrees, just to avoid going back.  Here we are so many years later and nothing has changed. 

    Watching some of that footage really drives home how trivial some of the stuff we talk about is.  So what if my kid is waking every hour - I know he is safe, and has a decent chance (unless the current political shift continues along the way of corporate-funded hatemongers, perhaps) of growing up where he can make a living and has a voice in his government. 

    My thoughts are with you and your family.
