It's so easy for me to sit up here in the perfect weather in central PA, going about my daily life, complaining about being tired, posting my silly little blog posts.

When it becomes less easy is when it gets closer to home. I am extremely lucky in that I have no family or close friends in the devastated areas. But as it goes from big picture to details, I find barely two degrees of separation between me and some of those hardest hit.
