Twenty-seven years ago yesterday two students committed an act of terror at one Colorado high school, and since then nothing has changed. In fact, it's gotten worse. This is not a good country. And it was never a great one.

I have been exhausted since four pm. I lay down on the couch and slept for (at least) an hour and I was still exhausted. Nothing to do about it but take a run and see how that makes me feel.

Remarkable. At the start I could barely move my feet. By the end I was running. I still felt heavy, but I was running.

Now I am going to a candlelight vigil for nineteen slain children. I fucking hate it here.

Fucking horrible. This nation is fucking horrible. Except for right here, in my city. Last night I attended an outdoor celebration of musical achievement for my son, and the crowd was beautiful. The weather was beautiful. Even the orchestra was beautiful.

That last was a musical theater reference. If you know, you know.
