Sleep in Heavenly Peace -- Galle, Sri Lanka

Just a short ride tonight, folks.

I have been haunted throughout the day by "Silent Night." It all started with NBC's TODAY SHOW, live from Galle, Sri Lanka. News Anchor Ann Curry, who is the most compassionate of the NBC Family, visited a hospital where some 700 bodies were lined up on the floor. The hospital staff photographed and finger-printed the bodies (total: 1200) for identification before they were buried in a mass grave. That image stuck, and at the same time, I began hearing the words from the song...always concluding sleep in heavenly peace.
