Daughter #1 is in Washington DC at a leadership institute focusing on diplomacy and homeland security. Yeah, what passes for fun here is, um, different. They've been in a weeklong simulation. Madeleine is the UK representative to the UN. I've been getting reports like North Korea has attacked Japan, North Korea attacked one of her ships.
Today, her excited voice came over the cel phone that woke me up at 5 am. "Mom, there were explosions in London. Mom, Mo, you have to wake up, it's for real. There were really explosions in London."
And so there were. Updates to this post will occur throught the day.
UPDATES:
London bloggers: Dodgeblogium,Tom Worstall, About This Boy.
Jeff Jarvis is collecting London blog posts.
Back Seat Drivers has emergency numbers.
UPDATE:
Edgeware Road has 9 dead. We stayed across the street on our last trip to London. It was, if memory serves, in a section of the city with a heavily Arabic population. I guess no one is safe.
