Whatever small slice of life I might've written about today is being set aside. This afternoon, in the town where I live, an armed person shot and killed multiple people at a grocery store. Details remain scant, hours later. (This blog entry sat on my screen for ages while I thought about what else to add. And then clicked Publish.)
I just read about this on my phone. My heart goes out to your community. There are no words, just sorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh no. I'm so sorry to hear this.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness; I just heard about it now. How terribly frightening and horrifying. Do you live in Boulder? Such a wonderful, idyllic place. I's so sorry. Sending positive thoughts and hugs to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's been home since departing New York.
Deleteoh, no! I've been listening to the reporting on TV for the past couple of hours. I sincerely hope no one you know was harmed. And how to talk to your students about this. Sending warm thoughts and virtual hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteSchool's on break currently. How to reconnect with students next week is on my mind.
DeleteI’ve been thinking*about you since I heard the news, hoping you didn’t stop for milk or Mac and cheese. Knowing that someone’s everything did. Wondering about those families shattered.
ReplyDeleteThanks for those thoughts. On a different day, that stop for milk or some other sundry could very well have happened for me in that spot. For 10 someones Monday, it did.
DeleteOh God no. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you live?

DeleteOh. This is the slice no one ever wants to write. Nothing else.
