As many of you know, I was supposed to head to Paris this morning. I had packed and checked in online when the news of the attacks began to rush in. For the moment, I am staying in London, prolonging my time here by a few days while I gauge when the safest time to go to Paris may be.

Thank you all for your concern, and please keep Paris (as well as the many other cities and regions worldwide targeted by violence and fear) in your prayers.
