Hi everyone- miss everyone. :seeya:
It's been a crazy week.
First there was band troubles- my son had to do/view some "modules" (?) on-line for grad school, sort of an orientation or something??- which used up a lot of bandwidth- and he's not done yet (there are 3 of them)!
-- and then my FIL died last Thursday. We were off to NYC on Saturday. We packed up The Queen and Milo and drove 5 hours (just got back this AM and I'm exhausted- thank goodness my son can drive, too- I'm getting too old to drive so many hours).
It's really sad when a life/person/pet dies. Life is a gift, but it isn't so sad when that life was well lived. And my FIL lived his life fully and well- he was 89 years old, a veteran of one of the wars, graduated from college and became a sargent in the NYC police force, who raised 6 children (all fine people), and who was injured in the line of duty as a policeman in his late 50's. He had a Irish heart of gold and will be missed by many. There were so many people paying their respects at the wake- veterans and police, people from the parish (he was a very devoted Catholic and volunteered many hours at the church) friends and family. And so many flowers! (funeral flowers are very expensive, as I found out!).
So. missy's :jail: retrial is Sept. 8 - well at least jury selection. I won't hold my breath. :aktion1:
Maria De La Rosa- is she the one at the trial who exposed her breasts? :nono: I agree with Nymeria- she should have "declared" the pinwheel drawing as trial evidence for mitigation. Are they going to need a new mitigation specialist now?

Looks like CNN is pushing for coverage for the retrial- hope they win. What does "preclusion of mitigation specialist" mean??? I mean-she's going to get another one, so what's the problem??? :dunno:
I missed St. Patrick's Day here, so here's a belated happy St. Patrick's Day:
