Day 3

I'll start the check-in this morning. I'm feeling pretty antsy today. I'm unsettled that the Acton police has stopped searching the conservation area.

Yesterday I was thinking about one of the Light and Livelys where one person is supposed to make another person laugh. I was supposed to make Dick laugh and he had an expression on his face that said "I'm not going to laugh no matter what you do." But then I started doing turkey calls. He didn't budge when I made the first one, but I could see his face quiver a bit. But then when I did it again he busted up laughing right away and I just did a victory dance around the room.

Day 2

I am so glad to see that people are finding this blog helpful to them. I am wondering if, because I started the blog, I have to initiate posts. I hope not. I would love for all of you to have the freedom to start a new post and have others comment on your thoughts.

If anyone knows how to initiate a post, let us know here so that we can benefit from it. In the meantime, I will start a new page every day just asking people to check in.

Day 1: Welcome!!

I've set up this blog as a vehicle for airing our emotions regarding Dick Nethercut's disappearance. At the meeting last Friday night, following the prayer vigil, many people expressed dismay about feeling isolated at their computers and alone with their thoughts. I am hoping that this blog helps to alleviate some of that distress and at the same time raise some awareness about Dick's disappearance, since the story didn't get much media coverage.

I do want to suggest, however, that we not name names when talking about the investigation.

To contribute to the blog, you need to set up a user name and password (you can do so anoonymously). Every day I will start a new page and you can add comments. We will continue this blog as long as it is needed (until there is no more activity).
