People talk... conversations stopped when they hear a jet overhead... really spooky. But I don't think it matters where you are in the country... it was unthinkable that this can happen in the U.S., and that's gonna screw us all up for a long time.

Everyone go hug someone near you. (Hey, like I *ever* have any real sage advice?)

I don't know why, I was so good for a while. Not really looking forward to New Years eve this year. I suspect it will be another bawl fest. I wish I knew when it would all end.

He has not participated since. To me, it's a little like "Heart of Darkness"; "The horror, oh,the horror."

And this was just a horrible year... for everyone and everything. That would explain a lot of our emotional surges... Things wind down... and you start to reflect.
