From the front lines of... what?

I suppose this blog starts with a few grim anecdotes:
  • I was listening to a podcast which discussed a diary written shortly before the start of the Great Depression. It stuck me that the author must have had some sort of vague inkling that things were entering a strange, new, dangerous territory.
  • There was an H1N1 outbreak in my school last year.
  • I can't get images of Stephen King's The Stand out of my head--and it's a book that deals with a superflu and its devastating aftermath.
So there I am, teaching tweens while I dispense hand sanitizer and hope that we haven't crossed into Stephen King territory! Where are we headed? Only time can tell....
