Hostages?!

It is all surreal! For those who may not know, yesterday a few Al-Shabaab entered a very busy shopping mall here in Nairobi and started shooting at random. So far 59 people have died and 179+ wounded. There are hostages still holed up in the mall, security surrounding the area and most of Nairobi watching the tv and tapping away on social media. The Al-Shabaab are particularly annoyed with Kenya after Kenya sent troupes into Somalia to support the Somali government to drive out the Al-Shabaab.

So we stay home and follow it all not so much because we fear going out but because both Maryanne and I had travelled this week and this is the day to simply stay at home and be...

Daniel is sitting here watching the TV with great intent clueless about what is being discussed but enthralled nonetheless.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those families who are affected by this heinous act...
