Back home in California, there's much to be grateful for tonight. A dear friend, married on December 11, is honeymooning in Thailand -- and had it not been for a fortuitous travel delay, she would have been in the epicenter of the area hit by the tsunami. An email from her notes that the hotel near Phuket where she and her new husband were to have stayed no longer exists -- and they were to have sailed by boat to the Phi Phi Islands, which have been devasted. Thoughts and prayers go out tonight for all those not similarly blessed.
