07/06/2009: "It's Cooling Down"

I'm going to be liking the weather this week or at least the next few days, cloudy and cool. It's been very hot this week so working hasn't been all that much fun, but more fun than my oldest son has had for 5 days. He's in the hospital waiting for his second surgery to repair 2 more broken bones in his ankle. The deer he hit on his crotch rocket, just after leaving for work and the first ferry, died next to him in the middle of the road, while he was waiting to be helped off the road. "They" say it will be a 6 month recovery. He's ticked off the most by only being able to jet-ski twice so far this year. I'm just so thankful this state has a helmet law because it saved his life.
I'm also glad he has great insurance because I heard the helicopter ride to the hospital is $10,000, not to mention the surgeries he'll be having. Even though I think the insurance industry is such a big rip-off, there has been a few instances where we'd be screwed without it.
Michaels' memorial service will be tomorrow. The scalpers are already selling their free tickets for $15,000. My kids probably think I'm a bit "Wacko" because I've always loved and admired Michael and his music. It was in the hospital where I heard the first joke about Michael since his death. It went like this, " When Farrah got to heaven, God asked her what she wished for the world. She said that she wished that all children would be safe from harm, so God killed Michael." I didn't laugh, I just said "poor Michael." I think that everyone who thought he was guilty of molesting those boys are going to see that it was never true. I'd be willing to bet his kids were raised with nothing but love and their intelligence might just blow us away.
