too close to home

It’s never ever a good feeling when you open up a cnn.com and the first thing you see is home.  Last night I opened the page to learn there had been a shooting at Northern ILL University.  Not my home town, not my college, but damn close enough.  I drove through Dekalb regularly when taking Chris home from our college.  Of the kids that went to college that I graduated with the majority either went to community college or Northern.  I know kids that probably sat in that hall at one time, that took a class with that teacher.  Granted they are probably graduated and long gone by now…but thats not my point.  I don’t know what my point is…I don’t know what the point of this disaster is.  What is the lesson to be learned?  What was accomplished?

to escape from reality we’re going to look for a kitten to adopt this weekend.  we want to get Orion a friend to play with.
