laramie

I've been out of touch all day (working on the romance mss, and the new filk hymnal, to the accompaniment of old Dark Shadows episodes.) I even spaced out my lesson at The Riff Factory.

When I finally did a mail-check I saw laurel's fan-check notice and turned on the tv news.

Shock, of course. I grew up within a mile of that bridge. My brothers and one of my sisters still live nearby. (I called my sister-in-law, Mary, who thinks everyone is okay, though not all have checked in yet. My brother, David is in South Dakota; his girls are all off at camp. My sister, Rea and brother, Jon don't live quite as close and tend to take different routes.)

Please check in here.
