We're almost off for the weekend. Our friend Dirk was supposed to come with us but is so sick. We were going to take him skiing for the first time. I love introducing people to the sport. Perhaps another time, probably next season as this one is wrapping up. And Spring skiing involves a lot of rocks! The place we rented allows dogs so I have to go pack their little bags too.
No TV there so I get a break from the bombing. Tom is bringing his laptop because he hates to be out of the loop. He said every cubicle at work is broadcasting the coverage. This is where we differ on the topic. He soaks up the visual images. I keep imaging the uniforms and chaplains showing up at the fallen soldier's parents' front doors. Confirming their fears after seeing the network's streaming text reporting casualties.
I wish everyone a safe and peaceful weekend.
