So these are not usually topics that go together, but just a quick post on my surreal night last night... Dropped daughter Katy off at Trinity College for diving and headed to a friend's home for my first piano lesson since college.  Now many people think it odd that I'm a music teacher who doesn't play piano, but the truth is I can if I try really hard or practice a lot.  Knute is actually teaching me fake piano~  I'll keep you posted on my progress; just know that one of my first songs is "Wild Thing!"

I head back to pick up Katy and the Campus is on a lockdown due to an armed robbery nearby.  2 hours later we are allowed to leave after the suspect shoots himself...  I don't know how to put this all together, but I know that it is so sad that this 21 year old was so desperate that  he robbed a McDonald's and then shot and killed himself when he was pursued.  He was someone's child and maybe a brother...

 Love your children - love other people's children - love each other - no one should ever feel so desperate or alone that they die alone in the woods at their own hand...
