Newtown. Here's a very thoughtful slideshow with a picture and little bit about each victim.

Huffpost, unfortunately, but worth the visit.

The topic is how proceeds have been spent in different ways for each victim, a very thoughtful and individualized story on this sad day.

Look for the slideshow after the text part of the article, which is about various ways donations have been spent to commemorate individual victims.

I see Adam Lanza as a victim, too.

It's not quite the same, of course, but he's still a victim, a wasted life, evidence of something terribly wrong.

and should have instead gotten more effective treatment. That is a case for being extremely careful about any guns one keeps in the house, or not having them at all.

I still have nightmares about it happening to my children.

I can't imagine the pain those families have to carry with them for the rest of their lives.

There is some small comfort in reading how many different ways the victims are being honored, but it's just still too sad.

Good to see you.
