Glad you, Chris and Kerry are OK Jeff.

Everyone I know is safe. Having lived within one hour of Boston my entire life, and worked in Hopkinton (start of marathon) for 13 years, it's impossible for this to not affect me, to say nothing of six degrees of separation.

I know that the media is doing what they think is their job (sensationalize, break exclusive angles, etc.), and if movies and crime dramas are to be believed, are helping the authorities in some way. However, the number of stories that have changed this week is staggering. Hopefully, they have learned some lessons and will make adjustments like they did after the Bush vs Gore fiasco.
