I'm flying through Heathrow tomorrow. I expect it to be uneventful, but based on earlier reports, everyone I talk to seems worried that I'll be there - despite what the media and officials are telling everyone. I was more uncomfortable sitting in Toronto's Union Station this evening waiting for the Lakeshore East to take my dad back to Oshawa after the Jays game.

Despite what the heads of state will say in coming days, terrorism has taken its toll.

When it is my time or your time to go, there will be no escape. Enjoy your trip ;-) And, death is but a wall between two gardens.

Ross, have a great trip and don't lose sleep over this. That's exactly what the terrorists behind these attrocities want. We cannot be deterred by that, and have to keep living our everyday life the same way. It is one thing to remember and honor the innocent victims, but another thing to worry, change our routine and let the sensationalist press get the best of us.
