What wolfy_writing said. If you don't think everyone in the Boston area, myself included, wondered what would have happened if we'd been downtown the day of the Marathon bombing, or been at that gas station the day the terrorists hijacked a car (and I've been to that station, more than once), or been in the Watertown neighborhood where the endgame went down ... well, you'd be wrong. What your brain took you through is completely normal.

Mostly, I'm glad you're okay, and I'm glad the baby is doing well, too.

(Also: yes, take up work on their offer. It's good to know that info even if you never have to use it.)
