Spring, groundhog not withstanding, is in the air, and I can't wait for the warm weather that will eventually find us. Hope "springs" eternal (no pun intended), a panacea for the soul. An early Sunday bike ride, a cup of joe, and the NY Times, as I relax in the yard. I can't wait!

The people of the Congo experience a living hell on earth, if lucky , not only dodging bullets from their own brothers, but also some of the most heinous of crimes .
