Still Life with Robin: No Words

For today’s “Still Life with Robin” column, I was preparing a light little piece on the petition to move Halloween to the last Saturday in October. The petition, already signed by 19,317, is at Change.org: http://bit.ly/2EQrAgR  

After hearing news of the mass shooting at the synagogue in Pittsburgh today, I can’t bring myself to do any more work on it. Just too many numbingly bad things….package bombs, mass shootings, and last Wednesday, the senseless, horrifying murder of a 22-year-old who went to school in our neighborhood. Maybe next week I can return to writing quirky little observations about random, usually trivial, things. But not today. No thoughts and prayers, either. Just mourning - nothing more to add.
