Thank you
First off, a big thank you to everyone who's asked after us today. More than thirty people have approached me - be that via email, AIM, on the MUSH, through blog comments or by phone - and a number more have approached my parents. I appreciate your concern and thank you for your kind thoughts and wishes.
Second, everyone pick up a copy of the USA Today tomorrow. I was interviewed by Mark Memmott today about the bombings and how that was affecting the blogsphere. Last I spoke with him, he wasn't sure yet whether or not the story was going to run, but if it is, it will be in tomorrow's paper (and online) and there may even be a picture of me (courtesy of Scott) in there, too. Either way, it was an interesting conversation.
We're packed and ready. We're aiming to leave the house just before 6AM for Heathrow. We're driving because we cannot rely on public transportation in any way when we have a plane to catch. Also, I have no idea if the Heathrow Express is open or will be open by then. So yes, driving. And way early, because we anticipate everyone else will draw the same conclusions.
Wish us luck. Hopefully we'll get to the airport way early and I'll post again from there.

Here's the online version of the USA Today article: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/world/2005-07-07-london-blogs_x.htm
Bloggers certainly seem to have attracted media attention over this - I was interviewed by AP, Canada's National Post and Radio Open Source over the blats.
Hi Beth. I read that you were ok on your blog via RSS so that's why I didn't contact you. It's not that I don't care. :) -Tum
