Never be surprised when you fail to predict the outcome of your day. They say of fighter pilots who smack the side of a mountain at night, "At least they died relaxed." If I could only be so lucky.

Then on one Saturday night I took my beautiful bride to a masquerade ball. Less than one week later, Chloe was picking up the pieces of her shattered life. Surprised? Wait till you read the next sentence. My buddy was lustfully smitten with Chloe. Shocked? I said she was the most beautiful woman you can imagine. Where was I? you ask.
