Before today, I thought of Kings Cross Station as the place where the train ride in 4:50 from Paddington began. Or where Harry Potter and his fellow students got on the train to Hogwarts via Platform 9 3/4. From now on, it will always have a darker meaning.

We are having a staff meeting this morning so I took the opportunity to get up early and get dressed. Having a few extra minutes, I chose to go online. A quick look through my Live Bookmarks led me to Terrorist Acts in London. For the first few seconds, I thought it was a prediction of what could happen during the Olympics. Then I realized it was something else. Isn’t it odd how insignicant one’s personal concerns are at a moment like this?
