God damnit.

Monday, I leave class to find that some fuckhole bombed the Boston Marathon.

Tuesday, I find out my neurologist suspects that my twice-weekly mild seizures are in fact ministrokes and I likely have multi-infarct dementia.

Wednesday, my job turns to comforting my students and helping them make sense of Boston, because many of them have formed a running club with my marathon-running boss and they are running the Bolder Boulder in a month. It's my job to be aware of the cruelest images they are likely to see and the most odious responses they may read so I have some way to answer for this ugliness.

After class, I find out about the Texas fertilizer explosion.

Today, M.I.T.

I hope that in four years when I am dribbling into a cup and swearing jihad on Cookie Monster, this week will not be my sole remaining memory. I'm just telling myself that this is hard because it has to be. We can't avoid tragedy and sorrow, but we can learn to enjoy every single day we have left because of it.

Tomorrow I am spending the day on my beloved plains. I will walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs and rest in caves and shelters broken out of the canyons by long-departed nations. We've had to contemplate life and death far too frequently than any of us should. I think I need to spend a day with eternity.

I'm so sorry. Glad to hear you're going to be taking a day for yourself, though. Hope you can find your inner peace, and I'll be pulling for you to get some better news from the doctor come your next visit. Take some awesome pictures too!

So sounds like this is more than just a typical carjacking?

So..

Two guys carjacked a guy, one had lighter skin, one darker, both armed.

Were exchanging heavy gunfire with pursuing officers.

Officers screaming over radio they had explosives or grenades of some kind.

Think it's them?

I opened the scanner earlier only to hear "shots fired" and something about grenades. I am losing my mind at how insane this is.
