Life With Frenchie

So, this young kid (Genarlow Wilson), a few years back, was convicted of “aggravated child molestation for having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl” at a party. After many court appearances and appeals and lots of outcry against the sentence (even the girl’s parent(s) spoke up in support of the young man), a new law was put in place that made the crime a misdemeanor that only carries a 1-year maximum sentence - as opposed to the mandatory 10-year sentence with no parole that was in place before. Lawyers and others have been fighting to keep the young man in jail and uphold the prior conviction. Personally, I don’t understand why everyone is so adamant that this guy stays in jail. He is not a child molestor, or sexual predator. He was simply a young kid with one thing on his mind. What teenage boy isn’t that way?!?! I do not have any real vested interest in this whole ordeal, but I must admit that I was happy to see that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Mr. Wilson and ordered him freed from jail, overturning his conviction.

So I walked in the Breast Cancer 3-Day this past weekend. I did much better this year than last. I don’t think I’ll lose any toenails this year, my legs are fine, the only problem I had were sore, swollen feet. So, four days later, you’d think they’d be fine? WRONG! My brilliant self decides to get back in the gym and keep on track with my Couch-to-5K Running Plan. As long as I was walking or running, it actually was okay. It was once I was in the car that the pain started shooting through my feet!! MAN! Remember that scene from Misery where Kathy Bates’ character breaks James Caan’s character’s feet by hitting them with the sledgehammer??? I was actually hoping for that yesterday evening. OW! Well, I guess I’d better give the tootsies a rest today cause I’ll be back in the gym this afternoon.
