News Wrap-Up

I go out of town to a conference for a few days and miss all the fun.  The newlywed Marine couple who went missing, thus kicking off a nationwide search, is back at Camp Pendleton…and likely in some trouble.  She’s back at work and he’s in the brig.  No idea why only one of them is in trouble, but I’m sure we’ll get more information on that situation soon.

The Padres had a game that went something like 40 innings…okay, 22 but still.  That’s a loooong game.  I usually get the munchies and my mind starts to wander around the 5th inning.  I’d probably have to jump off the bleachers somewhere around the 15th.  

And Cindy Sommer, the military wife who was accused of killing her husband with arsenic has been released.  At the time of her conviction it seemed to many of us (except those on the jury) that Sommers only crime was one of bad judgment in sleeping around so soon after her husband died.  Since additional tests have shown zero arsenic in her deceased husband’s system, it appears that sleeping around was her only crime.  Good news is that it looks as if she won’t have to spend her life in prison paying for that.
