Thanks for your good wishes, I'm sorry this is the first chance I've had to get back on here.

Michael came home safely late last night. The game went into extra innings and when he got home, he knew what had happened, but hadn't seen any pictures or knew the extent of the damage. So we sat up late watching the news.

I've heard so many stories of people who say they had just gone over the bridge earlier that day, or decided to take a different route that night. Lots of close calls, but nobody that I know was involved.

The city is sort of in shock right now I think. My friend works downtown and can see the bridge from her building. She said it was like a circus today with helicopters and national media and people walking dogs and pushing baby strollers down there just to get a look at what happened.

It's amazing so many people survived the fall.

There are a lot of good people out there who have and are helping out, and it's really heartwarming to hear from friends and acquaintances who are concerned about everyone's well-being.

Thanks for all your good wishes. Send your good thoughts to the families of people who didn't make it.

Namaste,
Kate
