Dude, today I am just thankful to be alive, for two reasons:

Tragedy of unfathomable proportions on the other side of the world. We didn't have the TV on all day on Christmas and I wasn't online, so we didn't see it until the morning. I think of these words of Lincoln's: "The world will little note or long remember what we say her, but it can never forget what they did here." I doubt that my words can add anything to the condolences already shared; it seems trite to even say this much but vulgar to let it go unnoticed.

The other reason is, C and I drove to Boston from Portland tonight on a very snowy highway and there were many, many moments when I was very afraid that my car or his truck was going to fly off into a ditch or another car. We were both just incredibly happy to get to his place, let me tell you!
