    This year sucks.

    This has not started as a banner year for me. In the past month, 2 officers that I work with have died, and another that recently retired passed away. There was a crash in the village where I work that involved 9 teenage girls. 3 of them died. Luckily, I wasn't working, but I know the parents, and the grief they have is beyond comprehension. My youngest daughter broke off her engagement and has moved back home. My wife and I went on vacation to Cancun, and the second day there, I slipped and landed on my hard framed backpack and broke a couple of ribs. There's nothing like spending a day in a Mexican Hospital. If the rest of the year keeps pace, I'll be lucky to make it to 2013!
    For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.

    Holy Mackerel! You need to reset the clock and go back to New Years Day and redo the last 6 weeks. You've been thru a lot. Stay focused. Take care of yourself.

    I'm sorry to hear this year has been awful. I hope the best for you and your family.

    Police Officers put themselves at risk for strangers every day. Some do not make it home to their families. Next time you think of saying something negative about the police, remember...YOU are one of the strangers.

    Apparently you didn't read the travel warning about going to Mexico

    Hope you mend fast. I pray that the rest of the year is better for you and the family.

    Can only go up from here, right?
    The world would be much cleaner if blind people carried brooms instead of sticks.

    At communion, when the priest says "Body of Christ", I say "Thanks, I've been working out", then I grab the cracker and run back to my seat

    An amateur practices until he gets it right. A professional practices until he cant get it wrong.

    They've got us surrounded? Good. Now we can fire in any direction. Those bastards won't get away this time.
