Close to home

I should be going to bed right now, but I thought it worthwhile to first mention that one of the women who lives in the house I'm staying at tonight (one of our roadie's friends) just informed me that she's Lebanese, that she's supposed to go to Lebananon for her brother's wedding in three weeks, and that she had a grandmother who was killed by an Israeli bomb in the 90s. And here I was all white and upset about things...
