He didn't make it

My prayers for the family.

If I disappear for a while, I'll be back. But right now, I'm stunned. I don't know if I can write - so sungod may end up on hiatus while I deal with this as well.

If you will, pray with me to whatever you believe in for the family. No one should go through this.

Prayers for my friend

Please, for anyone that offers up prayers for a young boy that was just shot.

He's the son of one of my best friends, and it doesn't look good.

Please join me in praying, hoping, or whatever you do that he'll pull through. Thank you.

JURY DUTY!

Yes, I have done my civic duty. I went to jury duty. And now I will recap for anyone out there that's interested.

The case itself was pretty straightforward. Kid robs restaurant, gets caught with the money, gets arrested, comes up with lame excuse and tries to get out of it. Why he didn't plea I'll never understand.

But the PROCESS - that was interesting. Every step was gone through, point by point. Nothing was left out. There were times I wanted to scream that people needed to get on with it. But it did move - and justice was done.

And in a week. There's something very cool about that.

Even better? Now I'm done for the next two years!
