Anyway, days later, one of her friends let it slip that my wife really went wild at the party. Apparently a lot of booze was available. She is a bad drinker but must have had more than her limit. Any way, she ended up kissing a much younger man at the party and both of them were eventually caught having sex in the toilet!

My attention in the last fortnight has not been on the ministerial list or the passage of the 2010 Budget. As important as these and other national matters may seem, I was more preoccupied with the whirlwind of violence that is sweeping the country and threatening its very existence.
