Toppers

I was talking to my friend recently, and since she lives on a coast, she lives in a major metropolitan city. A city lots of tourists from all over the world come to visit: a town celebrated in song and verse.

So when I thought I had a bad week, we discussed her week. She topped me. When I was looking at the news, it went from spectacular to excrement covered really quickly.

Here's the list.

1. Minding her own business, Friend, her husband and two kids take a walk on a beautiful weekend day. They go to the beach. The moment they get there, a woman's body washes ashore. Police are called and say, "We've been looking for her--she's a suicide victim. We're on our way." Kids are herded off while they wait a safe distance away.
   
   Thirty minutes later, they show up, and an hour later, her husband is released after a statement. Needless to say, the weekend really was a washout.
   
2.  I thought I was being harassed until I saw this article. No, I'm really not nearly as harassed as this guy.

I am content that someone else did top my week.

My life is really boring in contrast. Frankly, I like it that way.
