I am spending the rest of the weekend catching up on supplemental readings and research for papers. Friday night I spent with Karen. We watched "A Mighty Heart" about Daniel and Mariane Pearl. Daniel Pearl was the Wall Street Journal journalist who was kidnapped by jihadists in Pakistan and beheaded on tape. I watched a documentary on him a few weeks before my friend K. journeyed to that region with the Dept. of Defense and spent the whole time worrying about her.
"A Mighty Heart" showcases five-months pregnant Mariane who kisses her husband goodbye and never sees him again. Sobering to watch that film and think that this separation from my own husband could be forever. He is coming back here for a visit in two weeks and I am so excited. I can't wait to cuddle him on the couch, have coffee with him in the mornings, listen to him breathe at night.
I also bought a new laptop this morning and hope I have better luck then with the last one. I got a two year warranty and the computer is charging at the moment, so fingers crossed.
