Tornadoes in Tennessee

There was a storm system which spawned many tornados in Tennessee. Someone I know had one touch down in her town. Thankfully she is ok, her husband and kids are all ok. We know her house is one of a very few homes left undamaged and still standing. Unfortunately one look at the homepage of her local news station, there were two fatalities, a mother and her 9 week old baby. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was affected. I hope others I know in TN are safe.

On 20/20 tonight they talked about guns. The segment that was up first featured a local hero of sorts. Damon Weaver is quite a kid! He lives in Pahokee which is a small town with big city problems. He's hit the national spotlight with his ambitions in wanting to become a journalist. He has interviewed quite a few famous people over the last year. His giggle is infectious and watching him you can't help but smile. Each time I see him, I send up a wish that all his dreams will come true. I also hope I'm around to see him become famous!

Sorry this is short tonight, but I'm feeling tired and a bit sluggish. I can't seem to summon up much to write about, nor the strength to do it. I'm going to go relax with a rousing game of bookworm and see if I can beat my new high score I got earlier today.
