“Still no word from my father. I just went outside and heard a plane overhead. On most days that would be a pretty normal thing. Today I wondered what was going on on that plane. A friend was coming to visit from Florida for the weekend. Now that’s off. It’s just beginning to sink in how much things have changed. Yesterday would it have made no sense to run a survey to ask if we are at war. Yesterday was a normal day. Today started normally too. I have a feeling that the takeaway from this will be There’s No Time Like Now. Yeah, there’s no time like now to start forgiving, to turn the other cheek, to show the world not that we’re tough, but that we’re commited to making the world a better place. Do I think our government will do that? No I don’t.”
