he and this other friend, who plays trombon, went from a rehearsal. decided to stop for a drink. Called me, but my battery was out. Well, they had more than a few. And the trombone guy got this new car like a week ago, speedy little japanese honda.So, he wanted to try it out. They crashed. Big time. The trombone guy was driving, and he went without a scratch. The other fell out of the car. Now, a year after, he is still in a wheelchair. They say he will recover. But it will take years. He can"t have a drink alone, wipe his nose, anything. He can move his head and wiggle a bit with toes and fingers. It is kinda hard for me to write about this, cause he is one of my best buddies. I used to sleep over in his house when i"d get pissed drunk with his dad. But I hope you will get what i mean. I am all for drinking. But think twice about sitting behind the wheel.
Especially if you are going to drive fast.
