Sympathies

Like pretty much everyone in the Washington, DC area, all of us know people who attended or have family at Virginia Tech. Several of my coworkers had to explain to me what a hokie was, and were amused at my disbelief a few years ago. The Washington Nationals had a moment of silence last night to remember those affected by what has been an awful scene. Yesterday was the first of what will be several sad days in the future for that community, a community with rich roots in the DC Area. Our thoughts are with Blacksburg today.
