I read it as I was looking for a way to recover from two responses to an email I sent to let folks know about a vigil happening tomorrow to mourn the recent spate of rape and murders happening tomorrow. One person told me it was bad timing because of some world cup match thing (I guess I didn't know there were appropriate times for vigils), and the other said she was concerned about lost productivity (I don't know what to do with that one). <BR/><BR/>Anyway, did you make it to India? Nary a word about that part of your travels.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974754968045758692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953848556540874315.post-19999654316739060402008-11-18T02:08:00.000-08:002008-11-18T02:08:00.000-08:00Correct Owen! full marks on geography! on my way b...Correct Owen! full marks on geography! on my way back from China, in london right now...Annie Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002716362243335338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953848556540874315.post-18806500268033594512008-11-17T13:03:00.000-08:002008-11-17T13:03:00.000-08:00Guangzhou? isn't that like in china?Guangzhou? isn't that like in china?owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989384856313244450noreply@blogger.com
