Safe arrival in Bangalore

Wanted to let everyone know that Christine has safely arrived in Bangalore, and thankfully the travel & pickup were as smooth as could have been asked for. She called from her host family's house, and says that the room is "very cute." Definitely answered prayers for a safe trip & what seems like a good setup with her host family.

Meanwhile, wanted to share a quick paragraph fitting in with Christine's trip, as well as with the general Allen approach to life. Selection below, and article "Time is More Valuable than Money":

People often say, “I don’t have the time to…” Fill in the blank with whatever you like: exercise, make dinner, write a book, start a company, run for political office. What makes these people think that they have less time than anyone else? Of course they don’t. We all have the same 24 hours in each day and make real decisions about how we spend them. If you really want to get in shape, then carve out time to exercise. If you want to write a book, then pick up a pen and do it. And, if you want to run for president, then get started. It isn’t going to happen if you plan your day around your favorite TV shows or spend hours updating your Facebook page. These are entertaining distractions that eat up your irreplaceable time.
