Whew.


The week that was , topped off by the night that would not end. The internet was all boisterous and teenagey Thursday night/ Friday morning with me being way to right there in the mix - so sleep is all messed up.
 Real horror, not on tv or the big screen acted out in the most real time ever. Getting it oh- so -terribly- wrong a lot, but still, there in the wee hours of Friday, we were all Boston, we were all Watertown, we were all on the street corner, we were all the scared students posting bullet holes on you tube - there were times when we were getting facts that ALL the media was not, or were just checking, doing their job.

I / we could get The Boston Globes very on target tweets just as well as the poor sleepless exhausted CNN face/hair. The first BIG story that was totally plugged in - the revolution may not be televised, but it will be on the web. Such a scary night and thankfully no one had to be alone, you and your mother box and a zillion or so of your closest pals waiting out the sleepless , pop filled night. Monsters in the alleyway - We have your back.

I crashed a little after 4, JUST as the MSM was checking all the rumors that were going like wild fire on crack that night, Neil woke me up early, sevenish as I think  - I can't even remember now - something dramatic was happening. All over less that 24 hours later - again played out in such live time -  Jetson's / Star Trek live time:
Here is the boat on bing maps - just like it was out house....

It all just , still so fresh, seems like such a horrible horrible waste. Four Innocent people dead, the older brother dead and the 19 year old boy, just as gone - his life every bit as wasted as his brothers. 
The Texas explosion, the Senate gun debacle, two horrible earth quakes... Bad things were coming at us faster than we could process! Let this week be gone from us.
