Kind of hard to celebrate the new year after - Too much tragedy


Posted: Jan 02, 2011

three death reports tonight, all under the age of 55.  One with a ruptured brain aneurysm, one in a motor vehicle accident, and one suicide at age 22. Hard not to let these bother me, not getting much work done tonight.

Thanx for listening.

I know. Some of these people you don't forget either. - Hope sunshine has worked its usual on you. :) NM
