A good friend of mine is in the hospital tonight. When he gets out of the hospital he will go to jail.
It started with a few glasses of wine at lunch, a jovial lunch with old friends. And a bad decision to drive home.
His car crossed a double yellow line.
Smashed headon into a van driven by a woman with four children. She died.
He's charged with felony DUI and vehicular manslaughter.
Why am I posting this?
My friend is not a bad man. He's extremely talented and successful in his field of endeavor.
He didn't think he was going to kill anybody when he drank wine at lunch.
Now his life is ruined. His partner's life is ruined. And most importantly, the lives of the husband and four children and friends and family of that poor woman are ruined.
All for the sake of getting a buzz at lunch.
Be careful, folks.
