Gunman about town

It's both surreal and unsettling when your housemate calls you at work at 9am to warn you not to go outside because there's a gunman on the loose.

Despite the fact that three people were shot only a couple of blocks away from my office, and one of them has died, it still seems distant, somehow removed from the mundane reality of my day to day life. That said, I suddenly decided to put off going downstairs to get myself a smoothie for brunch...

i love that you "brunch" on a work day.

Well, it was sort-of morning tea time, but given that brekkie was only a slice of toast before I ran out the door, it was sort of brunch as well...if you can have brunch while sitting at your desk editing!
