the great ledge of life

another tragedy in today's post. An ambassador's daughter falls to a drunken death in NYC. A life of priviledge and parties ended at 17. Her blog was one big quest to stay as wasted as possible..easy to do on daddy's dime. Maybe there is something to be said for the crappy jobs most poor and middle class 17 year olds have to work to pay for school etc. These keep you grounded..You can poke your finger in the eye of fate But the odds get even in the end and the stakes are high and the great ledge of life is a slippery one, you bet your life.
