 Today was a catch up day. Well….a “I tried to catch up” day. My email inbox is overflowing….but I am getting there.

I was able to go on a few quick walks around the field between meetings. The dogs liked it. The sunshine was nice and the weather was perfect.

I closed my computer at 4:00 and will not open it until tomorrow. 

I started to read the news. I read about a local family that lost their son to a car accident. Then I read that the same parents lost their other son to a car accident last fall. I almost started crying for these people I don’t even know. How awful and devastating. 

It makes things like a bad flight home seem so trivial. Awful and gut popping stories like this help to reset our worry-stress meter. I am sure the parents would just like to hug their kids one last time.
