Tone deaf.. that’s what I was feeling today. I feel like everyone else seems to be so much more clued in to what’s going on around me than I am.. The last straw was tonight.\u00a0\u00a0 I had made plans to meet the UVM SEED team that I’m advising at 3PM tomorrow . I called my freind Victor to invite him to the meeting. Victor’s wife Patti’s frst words to me were “Stay away from UVM tomorrow”.. Why .. I asked ?\u00a0\u00a0 “Because Pres . Obama’ is speaking there tomorrow.. :. How did I not<\/em> know that ?!?\u00a0 Seems like everyone else I know seemed to have been clued in to that for weeks..<\/p>\n

Same sort of thing happened with iht my blog last night about Trevon Martin. One of my favorite readers let me know that I might have come off as a little off the mark in my interpretation of what was going on in the Trevon story. Another told me Ithat he’d agreed with me.\u00a0 Whichever you felt.. I hope I did not offend anyone. . I had commented on the media swirl around\u00a0 Trevons parents. To be truthful, I wasn’t as up on the fact of the case as I should have been. I did not know about the circumstances\u00a0 or history of Trevon’s killer, .. I\u00a0 did not know anything about the two sides of the story.. and I did not know anything about the new evidence that apparently surfaced .\u00a0 All that I did not know. Still stand by my feeling that I can only feel deeply sad for Trevon and his parents…. I felt grief, not anger .. not yet.. There will be a time for that , I’m sure. As I dug in a little more today I could see the good that might come out of this tragedy\u00a0 in the conversations it starts. Let’s hope for that..<\/p>\n

Now.. it’s time for me to start paying more attention to the world.<\/p>\n

nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n
