How can it be Colorado? Uh... how can it *not* be Colorado? Dang'dest weather I've ever seen. It'll snow two feet one day and be 80 degrees the next.
Sorry to hear of your classmate. I gather it was a traffic accident of some sort because of the weather?
You mean... women are supposed to outgrow this stage???? Dang...
[ducking]

Yikes! I get all caught up and read this. So sorry, Jen.
And I'm just watching the story on the plane crash in CO that killed Teddy Ebersol, the teenage son of an NBC Sports exec. :-(
Good grief, Jen, did your classmate die in a traffic accident? Thanksgiving and Christmas are always bad abut that since there are so many people on the roads. Last weekend was bad in lots of places with show and rain, too.
*waits until Ramius lifts head to check if coast is clear*
aiming stress ball........
WHUP!
I heard about Dick Ebersol's son on the radio in the car this evening. It brought tears to my eyes thinking about my sweet 14 yr. old at home. He and Susan (St. James) must just be devastated.
Actually he drowned. No word yet on why, only that it wasn't blunt trauma and it doesn't look like he panicked or anything - there were other swimmers and a lifeguard there. (Indoor pool at the rec center).
Apparently he's part of a big Catholic family, which is why I'm wondering if the guy I'm thinking of... well, anyone male who wasn't in class today is a suspect.
It appears you and I both are out of line. I just haven't gotten whupped in the head yet. ;~D
:-)
hehehehe.... good shot.
Oh, good heavens. Drowned in an indoor pool with a lifeguard and all? Sounds to me like something else was going on there... medically.
Sorry to hear of it.
Yeah, that's what we're thinking. Apparently he was working out with his brother... maybe a stroke... anyway, the whole department is upset. There was a student who died earlier in the semester, but she drank herself to death, and she wasn't one of us, anyway.
WHEW!
I gotta come back to the Hole! I've been talking cars till I'm exhausted!
I cannot begin to imagine. *shudder*
I wouldn't hit you with a stress ball, sis!
At least, I don't ~think~ I would. *grin*
I'd miss in RL. No hand eye coordination. *sigh*
Yeah - I know.... I've been watchin' ya over there.
It's still all very discouraging...
I didn't have a good day today. Just started off bad, it was rainy and cold and depressing after a pretty nice few days with the family.
Well, Steve is making calls and such apparently about the car, so he hasn't abandoned me totally with it.
It's always tough on everybody, even when the connection is only peripheral. In college there was a drunken guy in my dorm that fell out a fifth floor window and died, and on my ship there was a chief that committed suicide with his service pistol, and a couple other such things.
There's just nothing about any such thing that can be said to take the sting out of it. It doesn't make sense, and it never will.
:-)
Mmm, not at all. And at this time of year, I can't help thinking how hard it must be on his family.
Oh well. It's a shame, and that's that.
