Talk about how life can sidetrack the best intentions!

Talk about how life can sidetrack the best intentions! This week has been a stellar example of that - my intention being to provide some background and insight on the "sport" of blogging. Then, our son, Joe was in a car accident this week and everything changed. The amazing, miraculous news is that Joe will be fine - only a broken clavicle, nasty black eye and general soreness for him to recover from. Equally amazing and miraculous is the amount of safety that his Honda Civic (which was totaled) provided him during the crash. No way you can look at a photo of the car and then look at Joe and believe how few injuries he sustained compared to the car's damage. Credit Honda with their front, side, and roof airbags not to mention a strong frame and several other safety features all of which added up to a truly incredible amount of protection. By the way, I was able to find out that blogs are typically a type of "personal journal, often of a confessional sort." And, they've evolved to be a source of commentary, info, and knowledge. Suffice to say that my blog entry reflects all those things - my personal experience of Joe's car accident, information gained about Honda's safety, and knowledge (rather, wisdom) of how essential it is to put your teen driver in a safe car. Because, _ _ _ _ happens as we all know!
Now we're looking for a replacement car for Joe so any TRR member with a car to sell that is as safe (or even safer!) than a Civic, let me know! In the meantime, PLEASE be careful on Williamson Valley Road - it's always going to be a risky road to travel. Thanks for reading through my ramble!
