It's Friday I am sick to my stomach right now. Carlie Brucia, an 11 year old little girl in Sarasota Florida has been found murdered. How in God�s name, as a parent, do you ever survive this? I am officially changing my stand on the death penalty. Fry the bastard. Lethal injection is just too good for this man. We need our government to impose harsher penalties for this type of horrid, unthinkable crime. Forget the appeals, forget the 2 to 3 year wait on death row. Forget the letters from home and the rallies in his defense. Forget the color TV, the computers, the food and for the love of God, forget supporting his sorry ass at the expense of the taxpayers, of which many of them will be family members and friends of Carlie Brucia. We have to start protecting our children by sending a clear message to these animals. �If you kill a child, you will die.� There is no excuse for it. There is no acceptable motive. There are never any extenuating circumstances that would merit the salvation of these evil predators. Just take them off the planet and be done with it.
FRIDAY FIVE
1. What's the most daring thing you've ever done? Probably, the most daring was enlisting in the Army Reserves. Most of my family thought I was nuts. My kids thought I was cool. My mom was excited for me. She told me that it was something she would have liked to have done.
2. What one thing would you like to try that your mother/friend/significant other would never approve of? I would love to try skydiving. I won�t, only because I am a little too chicken. Like the saying goes. It isn�t the fall, it�s the sudden stop that gets ya.
3. On a scale of 1-10, what's your risk factor? (1=never take risks, 10=it's a lifestyle) In my 20�s, it was about a 6. In my 30�s, it was a 9. In my 40�s, it was back down to a 7. Now? It is probably a 2. With age, comes wisdom.
4. What's the best thing that's ever happened to you as a result of being bold/risky? This one is easy. I took a risk when I invited Terry to stay with me while he found a job and an apartment. I had known him 1 week. (My sister knew him well.) We celebrate 7 years of marriage on June 28th. I took a risk on the gut feeling that he was a good guy and he has proven me right.
5. ... and what's the worst? I took a risk when I found out my father died of lung cancer and kept smoking. I took the same risk when I was told I had inherited his emphysema when I was around 30. And stupid me still take the risks every day because I still haven�t been able to quit. It isn�t something I talk lightly and it isn�t something that I laugh off. I know the statistics and I know what I am doing. It just is something I haven�t been able to solve yet.
On a brighter note, I just got a phone call from my boss. SNOW DAY!!!Later�
Later,
Cosmic
