A couple of days ago, I get this phone call. I pick up and of course I go, "Moshi moshi." The guy on the other side gives a really hesitant "Uhh." A few moments pass and I realize that it's Jerry, and he realizes that he didn't call some random Japanese dude. Congrats to that man for going through the ordeal known as support raising. In many many ways it's very tough process.

Today's article of the day: Dinner with the Sayyids. Thought it was a really interesting perspective on the aftermath of the whole Iraq war thing. I really thought that the end of the article discussing and suggesting the United States' part in this religious and cultural revolution was compelling.
