I'm glad that your son was okay and that you can now catch your breath
and relax a bit.
Thank you all for the quick update -- I've been out of the house all
day and hadn't had a chance to get the details. I heard there was an
explosion, but not where, and I have a friend in North Beach. She
travels through China Town daily, so she could have been in either of
those two areas. I'm relieved to hear that it happened away from where
she'd be.
