Michele sent me here to see you, Jac. I probably mentioned it last time I was here, but in case I didn't--I love that picture of you.

The Colin story resonated poorly with me. Nothing to do with Colin himself. I knew 2 guys in high school that had that happen to them, but they were both drunk idiots, and that colors my reaction when I hear about cervical injuries from diving into unknown water. It's a terrible thing to have happen...

thanks ya'll. i felt like this guy's account of all his thoughts and feelings post-accident were what a lot of people need to hear and realize that the tragedy doesn't have to render one's whole life tragic.

utenzi... thanks for the compliment on the picture *blush* believe it or not, it was made with a logitech web cam and photoshop did the sepia tone conversion.
