Horrific

I spent an amazing morning driving around the Florida Keys. The weather was cool, perfect. The water was a brilliant torquoise. The air was clean and the breeze calming. It was an impeccable way to calm down after a long tech process and I sat on the edge of the world for a while, staring up at the deep blue sky and smelling the sea air.

Meanwhile, the students and faculty of Virginia Tech were suffering from a horrific massacre, the worst in U.S. history.

I came back from my drive and have since been glued to the television. I am sickened by the events. I don't understand how the dorm shootings could have happened at 7:15 and kids could have shown up for class two hours later having no idea that anything happened. I don't understand how classes anywhere on campus were allowed to begin until the school had been locked down and the shooter found...there are so many questions I have but the big one always comes back to "Why?"

My deepest sympathies go out to anyone involved in this tragedy.

I've been left speechless entirely too much lately.
