How time flies

Has it been four months already? Again - it's time to prepare for Christopher Scott Emmett's execution. Once on the list, forever on the list for that execution. I'm being told that "It won't happen," the Supreme Court will intervene, there will be another stay. I don't know. I rented "Dead Man Walking" and watched it tonight. For months I've not thought of this, and now it occupies my days again.

I don't mean to be flippant, but how time flies. I've lost three friends/acquaintances to death - one by suicide, one by cancer, one by a traffic accident. None of us have a guarantee of life - or death. That much is obvious. But Emmett's fate this Wednesday? Who knows....
