A few of you have asked if I am okay, and it's just easier to make a quick post here rather than respond to everyone individually.

I am fine. Worcester (my city) is about 40 miles or so West of Boston, and I wasn't anywhere near the marathon yesterday. Several parents whose children attend my daycare were there with their families, but they are all also fine. We're all upset about what happened, but we're physically okay. Thank you for your concern.

Hugs to everyone!
