Try again tomorrow (and good thoughts to Mondawmin)

It was not a good day for me - it was a strange, loose one with a weird schedule, state testing, and the capper: getting hauled down to the principal's office to meet with parents who had a complaint about comments on an essay.

I'm glad it's over.

Perspective shifts a great deal, though, tonight, as I follow Justin Fenton's twitter feed about what seems to be a pretty horrible shooting at Douglass High School, at a basketball game, this evening. The 17-year old kid apparently went running through Mondawmin Mall afterwards, spurting blood everywhere. Horribly sad. Puts my shitty day in perspective.
