No Lies today.
I am always amazed at the extreme ups and downs of life, and how close together they can occur. It's hard to believe such an excellent weekend of Hashing could be followed by this particular Monday. A kid greeted me with a newspaper at the door of the school today. He said he was telling all the teachers the bad news, and showed me the story about our seventh grader who was shot and died early Sunday morning.
The rest of the day has been grief counseling and damage control, with many kids jumping to conclusions about the unapprehended shooter. Many threats of misguided retaliation. To add fuel to the fire, the air conditioning was out all day. Whew. Tomorrow can only be better.
