What’s going on?

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006
No elections here in Switzerland, so I’ll have to look elsewhere to give you news about life and what’s going on…

What’s going on? Sister 3 is in labor or is finishing labor or is sleeping off the labor. Yes, her first little boy was supposed to be provoked into coming last night. (Editor’s note: The English word is "induce" labor. Evendays is using a French euphemism which, considering what childbirth is like—so we’ve heard—is not so far off the mark.) What a great way to start life: Get provoked, get squashed, get pushed into the light, get loved, get photographed, get fed.

What’s going on? Amnesty International is upset about Saddam Hussein getting the death penalty. Several NGOs are saying the trial wasn’t fair. I think they are probably right. The dictator didn’t get what he deserved. Yet, he who showed no mercy got none.

What’s going on? According to the Belief-O-Matic, many of you are really, really confused. Sounds as if you could do with a spiritual retreat in Switzerland. (99% Mormon? How did that happen?)

What’s going on? Well, as Greg would say, “Only 46 days till Christmas.” That’s pretty good news.

But do enjoy today, okay?
