The roller coaster ride continues. I never liked roller coaster rides very much. This morning the hospital called saying my ex had a big respiratory crisis and the doctor started asking me a bunch of end-of-life questions. I raced over … Continue reading →
There’s still no predicting whether my ex-husband will survive or not, although in the past few days he seems to have stabilized and appears to be a bit better. Maybe even significantly better, although the doomy-gloomy “hospitalist” doesn’t deal in … Continue reading →
A mistrial was my prediction, because I think this has been an inherently difficult case to decide and reasonable people can differ. It involves an especially heinous and heartbreaking crime, the murder of three young children by their mother. But … Continue reading →
