R.I.P. Nick Adenhart

I woke up this morning to hear some tragic news. I know this blog is usually for some laughs and criticism. But today, I take the time to pay my condolences to Nick Adenhart and the other two victims of this car accident. To read the entire story please click here. It's a shame that a kid, because that's what Adenhart was at age 22, can lose his life in a blink of an eye right after pitching six scoreless innings. They have apprehended the suspect, who is believed to have been driving under the influence. Drinking and driving never leads to anything good, and it's my hope that we all can learn from this. I know that we all like to sit back and enjoy some frosty beverages. We love to BBQ and drink. We love to enjoy a couple drinks at the local softball tournament. We love to head to the sports bar, have a few adult beverages then drive home. Some do not even think that drinking and driving is a big issue, but in reality it is. It's a dangerous situation. Although we all claim to be in control when we drink, we need to know better than that. I'm not telling everyone to stop drinking, but I'm telling you all to think when you do consume alcohol. I know it's easier said than done. My prayers go out to the families that lost their children in this accident. Kids stay in school and don't do drugs. If you drink do so responsibly and don't drink and drive....CHEERS!
