I stumbled upon silence.

I was supposed to be in Cartagena, Colombia, today, speaking at the mid-year meeting of the InterAmerican Press Association. I was supposed to leave on Friday, but a snow and ice storm in the northeast caused many flight cancellations. First my flight from Dulles airport was cancelled; I got standby status on another flight out of Reagan-National airport, but then it was cancelled. I couldn’t get a seat to Miami until Sunday at the earliest. So, that was it. The trip was over.
