Let me start on an up note by wishing my Father, and all Fathers everywhere, a joyous and fulfilling Fathers’ Day.

Dad, for better or for worse, you had a great hand in steering me to what and where I am, and I am most grateful.

On a down note, by now you may have seen the video or pictures of "Neda", the young woman killed (just one of many) in the election protests in Iran.  I wrote a poem of and for her, which I posted to the Amomancer blog.  If you wish to share it with others, be my guest.  Her Father, no doubt, is in more pain than I hope to even imagine in my own life, but her sacrifice serves purpose and I hope he feels, in time, great pride in her.
