For those of you of a prayerful bent, you might take a moment to pass one along for my friend Jo-Jo. In an example of perfect timing, she arrived to visit family in Lebanon a little over a week ago. She’s a smart cookie, and a tough one, but it’s hard not to be a little nervous for her.

As of today, she’s in the mountains outside Jounieh, and the State Department is working on a plan to get the 25,000 or so US citizens currently in Lebanon out of the country. No word on when that plan might materialize, though.
