Apologies

I don't really have anything eloquent to say about the Lockerbie scandal. It's strange to live less than 75 miles from the site of this tragedy and yet feel so distant from it. Last year, we followed the presidential election in the British press, and it was a bit surreal. I have the same feelings this week. I never really felt like an expat until now.

I will tell you that we've had multiple apologizes (in jest) from friends here in Glasgow. Most Scots do not agree with the decision to release Megrahi.

Thank goodness it is not ultimately for me to judge.
