Bummed about Boston

I cannot even begin to explain how bummed I am today...Kate made me turn off the television last night before I sank into the morass of sensationalized reporting about the Boston Marathon bombing. We still know nothing.

But I do know that the ashes of 9/11 are not far from the surface. I don't mean to sound maudlin but the reverberations from that day are loud. Still loud. There is no smoky air or frantic posters going up around town but it's all there. And if you were in New York during that time then you know what I'm talking about.

Everybody in the gym was feeling bad this morning and so that made me feel better. And I had hot water this morning which is always my idea of life affirming. Then the sun came out and it's relatively warm.

A girl could go on living. Or not.
