No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I kinda volunteered to organize this event at church. Small craft fair and silent auction. Can someone who has done similar type o'thing look over my draft event plan and give me thoughts.

I've organized auctions for the local rape crisis center here. I'd be happy to look over it for you.

I kinda walked into this [link] about 20 minutes after it happened.

Uhg.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ack.

They aren't kidding it is shocking for this neighborhood. Now, a few blocks west or south, less unexpected. But here? Glad I was running late, as most days find me right at that corner at 4:30. And it is RIGHT next to the playground and school.

Guess that'll be the hot angry topic for the cop liasons at the neighborhood meeting next week.

The cops had to yell at me that the sidewalk was closed because they hadn't gotten the crime scene tape up. So I just cut through the field. At first thought car accident, but only the one car and all the helicopters...but I still didn't know until I got back home. It was business as usual at the Y.

To be clear, I'm dismayed, but don't feel threatened or anything. Just...surreal.

And I'd just finished talking up our hood to some prospective buyers. Hope they left a different way!
