I know I haven’t posted for a really long time, but I know some people keep up with my Twitter profile here and lots of people have been checking on us: we’re fine, although having the train you ride every day to work crash is horrifying.
I do usually ride the Red Line Metro train to and from work, but I wouldn’t have been on either of the trains that crashed- they were going into the city at rush hour, and I would have been coming out of the city (at a later hour, as well). Still, the fact that it happened at all is enough to shake you up a bit…you don’t really think that things like that happen, and then they do. Thankfully we’re safe and everyone we know is safe. One of Ryan’s staff was on one of the trains on her way to pick up her kids, but she’s fine. Not everyone is, though, and I hope you’ll join me in sending prayers/healing thoughts to those who are hurt and to the families of those that were killed.
Thanks to all who have checked up on us tonight…it’s nice to know we’re not forgotten out here in DC.
