Oh deer -- humorous aside
I completely forgot to mention something that I find kinda funny, perhaps my humor is a bit askew given my life these past few days. My brother in law Dan asked to borrow my car two nights ago when I was in Harrisonburg checking on the kids. His car was in the shop, and not needing the use of my car, I obviously said yes. I drive an old 1984 Volvo DL that I got for $1,200, so it's nothin' fancy. Anyway, about 10 minutes after leaving I got a call from Dan, it seems he had hit a deer going 60mph. Thankfully, he wasn't hurt at all, but the right headlight and fender were damaged, and the whole grille just fell off.
Sometimes, all you can do is laugh. Amidst all of the craziness, for whatever reason, this still makes me smile. Let's just hope these things don't come in threes. ;-)

hi Mark and Courtney..
You have been on my mind since I heard of the accident.. I'm still on the Gospelcom.net members list.. Been thinking about you both.....I know that it may seem difficult now but there is a reason for this...(believe me I know- and I also was the token Calvinist at GCI-I never thought I could say that my Motorcycle accidents was one one of the best things that ever happened to me) ...so just thought I would drop you a word of encourgement..God's best to you both..glad to here the healing is going ok..

unreal, you are all hereforward banned from manipulating speedy objects.
Hard to believe that the volvo sustained, basically no damage from a deer at 60 mph...

So let me get this straight--a deer was going 60 miles per hour? Wow!
