My heart goes out to the thousands who died in the tsunamis...

Hello everyone,

Wow, I remember waking up and seeing the breaking news text message that there were terrible tsunamis in south-east Asia, thousands feared dead and now the death toll just keeps rising. Then when watching more news this morning, I was taken back when I saw pictures of loved ones posted like that of 9/11/01, family members still hoping their loved ones are alive somewhere. It's just so incredibly sad that so many lives could have been saved with a warning system that could give hours warning time.

For up to date information on the death toll and other news on Asia's deadly tsunami, go to <http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6758619/>.

Hello all,

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted and that might partly be because I have the Halo2 bug. I should have gotten the vaccination, but the lines at the health clinic looked horrendous. I’m even part of the high-risk group [male under the age of 25]. Well, now I’m really regretting it.

Have a great week everyone,
@Matthew
