The good ole days…
When I was in school (which wasn’t very long ago), if we had lock down plans, I didn’t know about them. We certainly didn’t practice lock down drills. Life is different now.
There are times when I wonder why in the world I helped bring new life into the world. Times like this remind me of how utterly incapable I am of actually protecting my children. What guarantees can I offer them?
But then I remember that 99% of my interactions with my neighbors, friends, family and coworkers are great. I’m amazed by the capacity of people to love and care for each other.
It is a sunny April day in Oregon. This afternoon it will be in the 60s. It’s hard to be very down on sunny spring days in Oregon.
