#2 Just read your comment, but not sure how to fix/avoid it next time as I have zero knowledge when it comes to stuff like that. If you have a suggestion for me, please let me know, I'm always ready to learn something new...

I’m on a plane now, headed back to Baltimore, watching this nightmare unfold on the seat-back in front of me. There’s a kid sitting next to me - maybe ten years old - trying to get his head around the details of what’s happened. He has many questions, and because he’s seen me on television, he thinks I have the answers. All I could think to tell him was the same thing I always recall on days like this one. It’s a quote from Mr. Rogers.
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
Orlando, and the rest of us, need all the helpers we can get.
Godspeed.
