Well, everybody knows, the Chile quake and subsequent tsunami has been all over the news.
I happened to write a novel about a tsunami, so I’ve been riveted.
By the way, in 2004 when the tsunami struck Aceh and I was on the ground shortly after, the survivors and those in land had little idea what had struck them — they called it the “big ocean flooding.” Now there’s probably not a single person in Indonesia who doesn’t know what a tsunami is — such was the trauma of the event.
And yeah, I’ve been bad about posting to this blog. Because I’m hard at work, scribbling scribbling scribbling. But I’ll be back shortly.
