It has been quite a week in present...and in the past. Still on bed rest today (see yesterday's post for more info) I have been watching a lot of TV. Today's coverage has been all on the manhunt for the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing. I am glad to be listening to the wrap up press conference of the day as I am writing this post. The law enforcement officers have helped so much to bring this to an end, and the people of Boston are now safe today.I am reminded this week of the anniversaries that are occurring this week...and I wish that the media would spend a second to remind people of this. Those families are reliving their fears today--and I hope that none of them currently live in Boston!
April 15, 2013: Boston Marathon Bombing
April 16, 2007: Virginia Tech shooting
April 19, 1995: Oklahoma City Bombing
April 20, 1999: Columbine Shooting
It has been an interesting week in this country before...and now it is again in this interesting week in history.

I hope everything is ok with you. Good thing that they have the suspect in custody. Horrible things going on in our world.

Horrible that the young are committing these crimes.
In light with the recent events, you have chosen an insightful topic for Q. Truly, it's Quite a week.
I can't believe so many terrible things have happened in just a week. I'm glad they have the Boston suspects in custody.
Just popping in from the A to Z Challenge. A very thoughtful post. Some painful memories for many :(

I hadn't realized all those events were within a week's time, anniversary wise.
Definitely quite a week.
As a bed rest veteran, I feel for you. I didn't mention it in my post, but I was also a teacher before kids.
All this terror just paralyzes me. I'm from CO and remember watching Columbine unfold on live TV...horrid.

Interesting. April is the cruelest month... as a poet said.
Maybe something about the change in seasons stirs up deep feelings and urges, people act crazily?
