Last night, Mr. Strega and I were driving and listening to the BBC. They were interviewing someone who had been in prison with Nelson Mandela, and described the horrific conditions in which they lived. I realized how incredibly lucky I am and decided--as always when I hear these stories and am reminded of what people have accomplished under circumstances that seem utterly hopeless--to make good use of my time here on earth.
Mandela is 90 years old today; click on the link to read more. May he have many happy years in the world.
