Parade, 6:30pm, Angel Stadium start, Pond finish

:(


OMG that was sooo amazing. So surreal. No words can explain what an amazing experience that was. Holy freeking cow. Wow. Just wow.

Whew! I thought perhaps you'd made good on your threat to attend a country 'music' concert.

(Congrats!)

I'm feeling quite down. I'm here trying my best to raise my spirits.

Our family had another family as close freinds. They lived here in Garden Grove, Brian and Jean. They have four kids.

Brian is a contractor, and for a while did work for the city of Anaheim, and Disneyland. You know those strange structures on the median on harbour Blvd. with the green glass? He wired the power for the lights. And those red and green lights letting you know that the toll boths are open in the parking lots (Lion King mostly)- yup, he installed them.

About two years ago they moved to South Carolina. They wanted to get away from the crowds and high cost of living. Last night Brian was driving home from a job and lost controll of his truck. They found it upside down and belive he died instantly.

I don't know what to say to Jean, she's a single mom with four kids now. How can you ease the pain when someone is going through something like that. Plus I don't know how to break the news to my wife, it's been so hard on her since her mother's murder, and this is the closest death since then. I tried to call her psyc dr. but she is on vacation till the 13th.

Thanks for a place to open up and talk a bit. You guys are great!

Hang in there, RStar. My condolences to you, your family and your friends.
:(

I'm sorry :(

RStar: as far as what to say to Jean... just say you're there for her. And call her in a few weeks and say it again, when all the hubbub quiets down and everyone's done making their "obligatory" calls, and she's no longer busy with the "business" of death. That's when she'll really really need you.

RStar~ my sympathies.

I am also sorry, I did not know about your mother in law. This is going to be a tough one, ease the information on her. How did you find out? Might she find out on her own? {{{hugs}}} to you for strength to deal with this.

A call to Jean, a card. Let her know you are here for her and how much you know her husband is going to be missed. It is true, she will receive a lot of 'obligatory' calls but the ones where she knows you know what she is going through, well, that would mean a lot. Now, but then again, like Morri said, after when the calls probably will have stopped.

I'm so sorry RStar. Don't wait too long telling your wife - I know I'd be peeved if someone kept that kind of information from me (but then it's been almost 17 years since my Aunt was murdered, and Aunt is big time different from Mother).

I had to put these in different posts, so sorry for the double post....

The Congressman for the district right next to me was indicted earlier this week. He's being arraigned on Friday, and the Ethics committee of Congress has 1 a month to do their investigation separate from the Justice Dept. You may have heard about the raid on his home almost 2 years ago: He had a lot of cold cash. $90,000 in his freezer.

But this town is crazy. #1 - the dude was re-elected last year. (I will admit the woman in the run-off against him wasn't a very viable candidate, either, though.)
#2 - Someone just called into the radio station I listen to in the morning "talk/news/sports" station indicating that she wasn't sure the cash wasn't 'marked' AFTER it was taken out his freezer. Oh yea, everyone stores cash from legal sources in their freezer, when they received marked cash, and the FBI then 'plants' the evidence. Yea, that always happens.

We have met the enemy and he is us.
