At this rate, it’s a good thing I am posting these before Christmas. Good Lord, where has the time gone. The days fly by so fast I just can’t keep up. I actually asked Dave last night, “Is there a software program that can coordinate all your calendars? You know, like your Outlook calendar and your other work calendar and then your personal iphone/gmail calendar?” He just looked at me like I had live snakes for hair… but seriously folks, anyone know of such a thing… because at this point, I’ll take any advantage I can get on this time thing.

I was in the airport when someone said “That’s just crazy about those mass shootings at Fort Hood…” And like any news story of the troops, particularly ones where I know my sister or brother-in-law could be involved, my skin got goosebumps. I found the first TV I could in the airport and caught the blaring headlines. Sara and Jeff have been at Fort Hood for awhile and I knew they were both busy working that day. I immediately called my sister’s cell phone… she has one of those crazy numbers that plays music while the phone magically “finds my party…” and in those moments I was just sort of holding my breath and floating. When the phone clicked, the first thing she said was, “I’m OK. Jeff’s OK.” And then, I was OK too.
