M is or Marathon

By  4 comments:


I just could not get into posting in my mini-mystery today. There was only one  M word on my mind. 

My prayers are with the families of the Boston Marathon victims. 


So senseless. There was no political agenda, no government trying to overpower another, no making a statement against our capitalist society or any of the other crazy reasons people try to blow us up for.


Just regular, everyday folks there to enjoy the simple pleasure of running.

    Some really sick person did this. Everyone hopes we'll find out why, but I am not sure there is a satisfying answer...

    I know, it's such a sad, perplexing, gut wrenching thing to see destruction like that.

    I was on twitter looking for updates, and I was so glad to see tweets about how the runners ran right to the hospital to donate blood.

    It brings tears to my eyes eveytime I hear/think about it.

    It was shocking. I watched the live coverage for awhile, it was just tragic.
