Depressing Thoughts

Some days, I feel so fortunate to have many friends, family members, professional contacts and acquaintances. Other days, like today, I feel like knowing more people means having more chances of having to deal with the deaths of friends and loved ones. I wish I knew why I’m thinking about something like this today, but I’m not totally sure. Maybe it’s because of some talk radio news stories (mall shooting) I heard on the way back from lunch, or the recent shooting death of Sean Taylor of the Washington Redskins. Maybe it’s just the general tip of “if it bleeds, it leads” in the nightly news.
