There But For the Grace of God...

My heart truly goes out to the family of Natasha Richardson. Falling down on the beginner slope seems like such an innocuous thing to do it is nearly impossible to believe it can have serious consequences. Just blowing my knee on the "bunny hill" I was extremely lucky! By all accounts it appears that we have not only lost a wonderful actress but a great human being all too young.

On to other news...

A high school in Dallas, Texas has come up with a rather unique way of having its students settle their differences (and simulataneously provide the staff with entertainment): "Texas high school held cage fights, records say - Staff allegedly staged 'gladiator-style' brawls for troubled students." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29774152/

The school maintained a mesh cage in the boys' basketball locker room which "security monitors" would have students settle their differences...all while allowing the staff to enjoy this "gladiator entertainment".

And we wonder why kids are bringing/using guns in school?????
