W-A-I-T

Well, I said to give him back his car but looks like he got a little creative. At the end of last month, he stepped in front of a semi-truck and was smashed.

Dont despair, dear reader! He is still among the living. He broke his back and his pelvis and was in critical condition for a while. But he is back on a normal hospital room and supposedly recovering.

I dont know how he manages to survive these things. He must have something on earth still to accomplish.

I think we can safely say he will no longer be troubling us. He hasnt the gumption or discipline to recover from this accident. My son thought it might be a sobering incident that will change his attitude but we both highly doubt it. With surgery to fuse two of his vertabrae and who knows what else, he is not going to be popping up at the library anymore.

I am sorry to see him suffer but not sorry for him.

His lawyer started a big push for a settlement right after this happened. I'm not sure why. My brother thought the prognosis may not be too good so he is anxious to get in as much billing as possible. I decided to slow it down. Now that I know he wont be bothering us, I am going to focus on school and we are going to be back in touch with them come June. The trial is in August so we will have plenty of time plus we can see what will happen. If he dies, I'd like to get the assets but am afraid his prodigious debt would follow. I have a call in to my lawyer about that.
