The Art of the Day is: How to report bad news
I've been watching some of the coverage of the UVT shootings, and I've been hearing about car bombings in Baghdad taking out 80+ people at one time, and I've recently learned of a friend's losing the grandmother she has been actively taking care of, and I don't know. My sympathy is stretched. My sympathy is elastic. Bounce it off me. I can take it. I can't get my head around it, but I know that it needs telling, and that's something I can do.

Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.
