Way off topic and long, sorry:

I see the market sucked today, again. My wife called me at work late this morning to let me know that a bowling buddies life took an awful turn for the worse.

He and his wife have three children, 2 sons and a daughter. When their oldest was about 13 he became tired and had no energy. After 2 years with specialists they discovered a rare and fatal liver disease. This disease is due to 2 rare and normally untested for recessive genes. As the years went by son number 2 began to show the same symptoms, since they knew what they were looking for it didn't take long to find out what the problem was. Daughters story unfortunately was the same. Now all are on the transplant list and trying to live their lives as if they are assured of a transplant which is their only hope.

Jarod unfortunately while playing softball suffered some tears in his frail liver last week. Dr. felt that this was strange but would easily be overcome. Jarod's heart late this morning felt that it had enough. He would have been 22 in 2 months.

As much as our children can irritate us at times I can not imagine living with 3 that have the same disease that your genetics are responsible for, and knowing that barring a devine intervention all 3 will die.

We are losing opportunity and we are losing money. But in the big scheme of things, life is good.

Every above ground day is a good day. Please remember!

Sorry to bum anyone but I had to vent. I'm off to see the family and probably won't be on for quite awhile. If I don't get here before Vegas I look forward to seeing you all out there.
