Now, For Something Completely Different

Reader Caution: The links below contain some graphic language at times. Reader discretion strongly advised.


For those of you who get your news via the world-wide-web, you may have seen this today. Whether you have - or haven't - it's still worth a second look. A coworker sent me the link for the blog That Girl Emily. It's a blog about a woman, her self- discovery and the subsequent disclosure of her husband's affair with her best friend, Laura. Frightenly fresh, Emily's account covers barely 18 days leading up to her heartbreaking discovery - just days ago. No story here. This is real life. (Eat your heart out reality TV)

As the old saying goes, "hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn," or in this case, a woman scorned. Take a look at her plan to unleash 14 Days of Wrath on her unfaithful husband. Not to be outdone, day 2 is simply another magnificent reprisal. One can only imagine what the next 12 days hold for Steven. I say "you go, girl!"

As I read this account, I could only laugh. Had this story taken place in another part of New Jersey or a different family, Emily's brother probably would have gotten together with some of his buddies and taken Steven out in the woods. No one would have heard from him again - ever. That is if Emily hadn't already shot him first.

Of course now, in this post-modern, hi-tech information age, possibly half the world knows the mischief that Steven's been up to, as well as his shortcomings.

No pun intended.
