I was away from my computer for most of the day, so it wasn't until I got home from my afternoon of singing Yiddish that I saw there had been another synagogue shooting. I hate that another. Schools, mosques, synagogues, historically black churches, another and another, who's next? I would like the news to be full of other things, and not just because no one's reporting this kind. I don't know how to keep people safe.

Yeah, it sucks. I read about it shortly before going off to a new music concert where, in a terrible coincidence, the majority of the pieces dealt with gun violence and fear. The music was very good, but the experience was even more uncomfortable than it was meant to be.
*hugs* and support.

On a hopefully more cheerful note, is there a woman named Kim Shaw in the Yiddish chorus? If so, she's a co-worker of mine.

Thank you. *hugs* That concert sounds rough.

Yes, there is, and she's great! She mentioned in January that she was a librarian, but I didn't realize she worked with you. Please say hi for me the next time you see her!

Kim mentioned being in a Yiddish chorus in passing a while ago, but I didn't have a chance to ask her about it then. I figured the chances were high that it was the same one.
