Nor does the waiting

"Life goes on, Ngakau.

The weeping doesn't last forever.

Nor does the waiting.

You'll heal, man, back together again."

Thanks to kn0w1 for sending this along.

The Tech shooting tragedy is weighing large on my mind today, as it is most folks. More than ever, I am glad of friends and family, and want to gather close at home.

The wind continues to rage through the valley, and the cold weather had us skating along the ice caoting the back deck this morning. I'm glad the cats have the barn and the garage as shelter. I started a new contract this morning and one of the coworkers was telling me of a fantastic horse at a stable she knows well. I've never heard of a Fremola before, but from what she describes, this guy is worth a look.
