Today

This morning, as I sit here by the window facing the summer-ness in Luxembourg, I think about all the millions of other things hqppening worldwide right now.

Abbey Sunderland is sailing around the world on her own, attempting ( at age 16!) to become the world's youngest circumnavigator. She's probably also enjoying her view a bit more than I'm enjoying mine.

The Gulf of Mexico is becoming a black, dead sea filled with BP oil. Fish and Birds are suffocating and struggling to move- the result of the biggest oil leak disaster since us humans started the business of pumping.

Six scientists from Russia, China and Europe are on their 8th day inside the 'mock-up spaceship to Mars' in Russia, to prepare for the 18th month trip neccessaery to one day reach Mars.

My sisiter just woke up and is baking cup-cakes for a football party tonight in her appartment which overlooks the world-cup madness in the funky town that is Cape.

And Aaron Mokoena is taking deep breaths as he preps his team to kick some Mexican Ass in about 4 hours time, at the opening game of the first ever Football Worldcup in South Africa.

What an exceptional, seemingly ordinary day. I don't know about Mars, but here on Earth there's never a dull moment. And today is no exception! Happy weekend ya'll!
