I got to rehearse with one of my favorite local drummers, who is subbing in Bradshaw Blues for a gig this weekend. He had a friend with him, one that reminded me that the Universe doesn't provide my kind of good fortune for everyone.

This poor guy was attacked by four kids - one of whom was wielding a hammer. The violence they did on him cannot be justified, although he said it was random anyway. 

It set off a cascade in his life - through his medical recovery (his skull was split open, all his teeth knocked out), he lost his job, his girlfriend, his home, as well as having to endure hospitalizations and surgeries.

He ended up in a shelter, and eventually a church, which is he knows my friend the drummer.

Just as I was thinking, there but for the Grace of God go I, I realized that the breakup of my last marriage, while it didn't cause medical damage, left me in largely the same place.

But instead of going to Church, I went to Syracuse.
