Many of my friends in this town are are, and I\u2019ve been feeling sorry for them all week. With the snowstorm moving in (one snowflake floating gently to earth outside a classroom window has the power to whip the most placid child into a frenzy), I\u2019m feeling even sorrier for them. Thankfully, tonight\u2019s not a full moon (kids get weirded out when the moon\u2019s full), or I\u2019d feel obligated to enter the lion\u2019s den and give one of them a hand.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, all I have to do is feel sorry for them, pray for their perseverance and sanity when I think of it, and keep writing. In my book (no pun intended), this Friday the thirteenth is a marvelous, wonder-filled gift I don\u2019t deserve.
