Mostly, I'm glad they're OK. Then comes my internal debate about the troops' participation in all of this; but there's a time for that, and that's not now. Now I'll just be happy for the release, and continuing to remember Tom Fox's family and friends.

I can only suggest watching a lot of television, perhaps reality TV shows. Maybe computer games.
