I read most of my news online these days. I saw this in the Star Ledger, "A married Roman Catholic priest who battered his wife, bullied his children and fondled a boy was sentenced yesterday to six months in jail". I continue to be surprised at the level of disease that seems to plague the very people we are supposed to trust and seek guidance from. So scary. The wife never spoke up because she knew folks would not believe her. How scary and sad. The young NY man who killed his prominent physician dad has said in an interview that he wished he had not "gone that far" [to stop his dad's abuse]. I have never heard of a whole family who has no regret that their father is dead. It is hard for me to grasp. No tears from the family at the funeral, no "I will miss him."; no "He left us too soon." I am so sad for this family. I even feel sad for the father. What can make a person hurt family so badly and so deeply, that there is no regret when he is gone? Do we expect too much of people? I don't think so.
I have found that it is best that I read the Star Ledger first, in case there is something about UMD. This way I am not slapped in the face with more bad news by way of telephone call.
Wow. Signing back on to complete this post, I see that I was here just before 10a., then I remembered that I had a 10a meet. Fortunately it was very close by. I don't think I have ever moved so fast. It's 11:44a now, I stayed outside talking for about 1/2 hour. An interesting morning. Well, I just found out why the battery on my cell phone is so low, I have been plugging in the cord faithfully every night to recharge and it is still low. The recharger was not plugged in any electrical outlet. (groan).
