Yes. I am still alive.
Mostly, I have found that, as of late, saying nothing at all is better than anything that I have to say.
I will say that the VA Tech shooting has weighed heavy on me the last few days. Perhaps, the profundity is not as great as Columbine, and maybe it is because we are growing numb with daily death tolls out of Iraq that are comparable to this maniacs spree. My thoughts are with the students and families.
