Still Just Another Day
When I wrote yesterday would be not just another day , I had no idea how right I was.
Because it was not just another day.
I was literally five minutes away from heading to the Emergency Social Data Summit when a storm hit our area.
And what a storm.
The whistling wind would have put a banshee to shame.
Rain (hail?) clattered on the roof like the devil’s hooves in the middle of an Irish jig.

If you’re like me, right now you are sipping your coffee (or tea), reading your morning paper (or more likely, scanning your RSS reader), making a mental checklist of everything you must take care of today.
Just another day.

If you’re like me but on the other side of the world, you are winding down after a hard day’s work, figuring out what to cook for dinner (or what takeout you’ll order), stretching your bones that ache after a day of sitting in front of, and staring too hard, too frequently, too long without interruption, at a brightly lit screen.
Just another day.
Just another day can change in the blink of an eye.
