Just wanted to let you know family is okay, but this was was just too darn close. My brother works in Hanover County and his office is at the next exit from the Ashland exit where the shooting was. He has gift certificates at that restaurant (we've eaten there too). A friend from church teaches ice skating just around the corner.
It's just bizarre.
Yesterday many of the Nothern Virginia high school football teams were playing in our area. They all moved their games 2-3 hours away and told only parents and players. A neighbor's nephew was playing at a field near where this shooting was.
Schools here in Richmond and the three surrounding counties are closed tomorrow. I kinda think that's a little excessive. Supposedly it's so the "superintendents can meet and decide what to do." Seems to me they should have been meeting today...
In other Stormhands news...Jr. broke his finger at the football game yesterday. He'll be fine, but it was on the second or third play of the game. We're investigating it though because he says the kid pulled his finger (get over it g'nad) in two plays and did it intentionally.
They only have one more game, but he's out. And he's out if they end up in the playoffs.
Okay, gotta go for now, I'll check in tomorrow...
