Be Careful What You Ask For

... and be even more careful of things you casually mention to yourself.  **sigh**

On the way back from the conference in Minneapolis a couple weeks ago, I was commenting to myself that I like driving on country expressways because it gives me lots of thinking time. ...  But I didn't mean I wanted to drive to another damn funeral!!  Especially one of a 20-yo kid.  **bad words**

My cousin's kid was driving a company truck, crossed the center-line on a curve and smacked a semi full of sheet metal head-on.  Cousin's kid was the father of two kids of his own.

This isn't going to be a pleasant trip.  **sigh**  But necessary.
