People keep asking me how Pinky is doin.

Well since I am using the now defunct Sandra Wu-San Mega Action Laser Task Force title that me and Dean invented the least I can do is give an update of events in her life as I know them. Last I had heard she was doing excellent. She was recovering and while I haven't heard anything about her competing in tourneys it's only a matter of time.

Her full on return is also impending.

Let me say just how relieved I am that she's okay. I mean when she first started on the whole recreational drugs thing I'd seldomly hear from her, I'd just hear what people told me. Logically I, being the darling that I am, wasn't concerned at the time. Either it wasn't true or it was and she was a grown woman who could make her own mistakes. Then she took a turn for the worse. I felt downright horrible.

There's an old saying that I've heard in movies, it's a little too dramatic to use here but I think some of you will see where I am going with this. "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." Granted her mistakes are hers and I can't babysit her or any of you shaved monkeys, looking at you Tyr. However I could have at the very least confronted her and said "I'm hearing stories, just wanted to make sure you weren't doing anything dumb." And one of two things could have happened. Either A, she's say she was and I'd give her a finger waggling which probably wouldn't have worked but I'd have done all I could, or B, she'd say she wasn't and I'd have been lied to but when she got ill I could have said I did all I could.

Logically I did neither.

So let this be a lesson to all of you. If one of your buddies or a relative is doing something dumb, at least speak up about it. That way when it all goes south for them you can at least say you tried to do something.

And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
