no, really: it's out to get you

i've been losing people since Jan. 1 (well, technically, I lost my cat, Harry, on Jan. 1st when he had a stroke right in front of me and we put him down) but since then five people I've known bought the farm - and not in the good way. All of them freaky weird deaths come waaaaaaaaaay too early.

Then the suicide of Nicholas Hughes.

NOW, my son's good friend (and bass player for the band) is in the hospital with some sort of brain tumor - oh, yes, and tumors on his spine as well.

I am really wondering. I mean, this kid is sixteen!

I feel so helpless and ....

just, wow. The family must be in shock...
