I am always trying to figure out the problem of evil but still do not have any kind of grasp of it after the murder of my high school English teacher's daughter on my 2-24 birthday in 1976. This was in Reno, Nevada near the University of Reno, Nevada campus. I have used that experience to try to empathize with people drawn into the legal system with very little consent to being in that situation.


So dates obviously can be associated with both terrible events as well as very good ones.
I was in Reno that week to celebrate my Feb 27th 21st birthday. I still think about that sad news. That memory is etched in my head... That was back in the day when I lived in CA, now Florida.
