TWO OLD FAVORITE QUOTES

"and in a sense we're all winning
 we're alive"
                                     
 —Frank O'Hara (from the poem "Steps")

"but it is good to be several floors up in the dead of night
 wondering whether you are any good or not
 and the only decision you can make is that you did it"

—Frank O'Hara (from the poem "Adieu to Norman,/Bon Jour to Joan and Jean-Paul

Watched footage of JFK assassination all weekend. Today (yesterday) CNN published the report on the Sandy Hook shooting investigation. Made me physically sick to read it. God bless the innocent victims and families. Humans and guns- awful combination-period.
No other words.
