Sometimes, shit just sucks.

I can't turn off the news. I really have no words to describe how I feel about what's been happening in my state this week. There's no big, political statement. It's just a terrible and pointless loss of life and wanton destruction for the sake of it.

The one thing that prevents my faith in humanity from dying completely are all the stories of people who helped others and cared for others and did whatever they could to make the situation better. Those people are why Boston et al. will persevere.

I'm not from Boston, but Boston is (and has been) a part of my heart. I was born/raised (for the most part) in Leominster, MA which is about 50 miles from Boston. Most of my vacations and school field trips and fun outings took place in Boston. My teams are in Boston. Most people in Eastern Massachusetts think of Boston as our city, even if we don't live there.

So my heart is there, right now. All of my good thoughts, too. I can't wait to visit again.
