Your not-so measly step is an important one. Did you know the man personally? I hope working on his memorial provides you with some peace and healing. My condolences for everyone close to the man. My prayer is for peace. There is way too much violence in our country, and people of color are enduring the brunt of it.

On a lighter note, I don't live in Seattle, but I like the Mariners.

My immediate challenge is to change my insurance so that I can save a whole bunch of money and get signed up with the doctor I like. You're good at doing this sort of thing, but I'm not. Fingers crossed that I get everything fixed up before open enrollment ends.
