The disasters, both man-made and natural, have been coming at such a fast pace recently that I have, at least temporarily, given up trying to keep up with them here. I am feeling pretty overwhelmed by them, and as a coping skill, have been ignoring them here. They are never, however, far from my mind. Please know that anyone involved in any disaster, whether it be a shooting, hurricane, earthquake, or anything else, is and has been in my heart.
