Intertwined

As carefully as I sometimes try, it's impossible to keep one thread of my life from becoming intertwined with others.

Early in March, the news of something that happened in Chicago ... kicked me into "action" mode and caused the series of events that saved Mack's life.

It was not a fair exchange. The event was violent and tragic, and every bit as horrific for those affected, as the events on the campus of Virginia Tech this week.

I'm not sure what this intertwining means.

I'm not sure it's useful to try to make meaning where such things are intertwined.

It simply is what it is.

And the single story of all our lives continues.
