What do Alabama, Argentina, and Egypt have in common?

Three of our folks are gone to these far-flung places, that's what.

Laurel is in Argentina for the whole semester; we won't see her till next fall. Maybe she can show us some great tango moves then.

Paul is in Alabama this week. He went to Birmingham to help his mother look at assisted living facilities, and he was going to come back tonight. But our sister-in-law's mother died yesterday and the funeral is Thursday in Auburn (2 hours from B'ham). So he is staying and will return on Friday. Which means I'm leading his study tomorrow night. Please, no hecklers. ;)

And Lindsay has made it safe and sound to Cairo. Today she was scheduled to take the train to her dig site. Imagine her in her hijab, riding the rails, speaking in Arabic, and headed towards who knows what adventure.

Let's keep her in our prayers.

I look forward to your comments on this very exciting, very insightful blog entry.

[and could someone explain to me what the heck a trackback is?] edited to add: Thanks, Becky!
