First off, my deepest sympathies to everyone affected by today’s train bombings in Mumbai and my solidarity with all Indians. It’s a terrible event that no one deserves.

But, dear Father-in-Law who is worried about our safety as we travel abroad, there is no need to tell dear Mother-in-Law “I told you so” about today’s carnage. This could just as easily have happened to us in “safer” parts of the world. Say, Madrid or London or even New York or DC, which we visit a couple of times a year.

So, buck up little cowboy. Everything will be all right.
