That's My People!

I watched the breaking news with horror yesterday. Tube stations where I had spent leisurely vacation time were now decorated with mangled metal. But I was struck at how orderly things appeared on the news footage. My Essex-based record label texted me on my way to the day job to let me know they were okay.

I work at a Jewish organization where my dry British humour goes over about as well as Seinfeld in England but I have a rapport with our London office that is fortified by "skyping." When I checked in with them my UK coworker reported, and I quote: "Everything has been so organised here." No book deals among this bunch. Let's hear it for the British stiff upper lip!
