One Day Blog Silence

Around the blogosphere, people will be observing a One Day Blog Silence on April 30th to honor all those slain on Monday at Virginia Tech. It's been impossible to express the horror of Monday.  I hesitated to post anything on this blog during the week but because I couldn't stop thinking about all of the people and what happened there, I really have been actively looking for ways to embrace the joy of this short life. And, as prosaic and mundane as it is, food is one of the simple, uncomplicated joys I know I can turn to unreflexively in times of profound sorrow.

Thank you Brandon.

I will definitely participate. This is very hard for those of us here in Virginia where almost everyone has friends or relatives in Blacksburg. The very least we can do is show our respect and solidarity with those who have endured such horror!
