I'll be interested to hear how that quote impacted you, Greg, because when I read it, I heard the words of a man trying to justify his own pathetic actions. I've selfishly pursued a musical career at the expense of wife and children; and now that I've landed at the bottom with little more than a divorce (and a tastelessly named touring band, "The Trophy Wives") to show for it, I no longer point fingers. How convenient. How terribly convenient ...

In other news, my brother has a home that was broken into 18 months ago. Now word comes to me that yesterday, the same house was victimized by arson. By the grace of God, no one was hurt. But seriously, what do you do with that? Theft is one thing. Somebody is jealous of what you possess and/or they have needs/wants of their own; and they selfishly take what is yours to "improve" their lives. But arson ...! What is that? There's nothing to gain. No end goal that "improves" anyone's life. Just wanton destruction that may or may not be personally directed. It makes me sick to my stomach. Well, that and pissed!
