Sending hugs and prayers. I read the further comments about how these were not drinkers, survived 2 tours in Iraq. . . WOW! Seriously sad. Lives lost, lives ruined. . . all bc of alcohol. Senseless. I'm so sorry this is happening in your world.

Erfra - that was the BEST cake I've ever virtually eaten. It was calorie free, too. Thanks for sharing your celebration with all of us.

I know I'm shamefully unfit but I'm hopeful that I'll enjoy going once I get used to it!

Saw an old friend today that I haven't caught up with properly for years, he brought over a nice present in an old recording desk and a load of tapes from recordings we made in 1997/98 that I'd completely forgotten about so had a nice reminisce this evening. Might even put that fresh set of strings on my guitar tomorrow whilst the kids are at school....

Anyway, hope everyone's had a good weekend.

Stay safe and play nice

YAY for you for taking that step to get some exercise. And the guitar thing??? DO IT! Nothing like music and exercise to make a brain a happy place.

I am not sure if the young man or his fiancé drank or not but my daughter and SIL never have. So very senseless; so very sad.

We all feel worse and worse as the reality and magnitude of what has happened sinks in.

So do I.

The news my daughter and SIL heard (by word of mouth) was that he had caused or was involved in another accident a few minutes earlier, left that scene, and then killed their two friends.
