We’ve all been in a stituation when we react in a dramatic way that’s out of character a little for us.
Last year, I was packed and ready to go for a long weekend of scuba diving in Mexico.

That’s where we would meet with the rest of the divers caravaning during the drive to the Sea of Cortez.
I had placed my iPod on my little tabletop stereo to charge overnight.
Although I don’t use the MP3 player often, I absolutely love and adore it for the boat rides out to the island. I watch the just-risen sun kiss the tips of the cliffs around the marina. The birds skim the surface of the ocean as the crew churns the Newton ’48 through the water. The air is clear and fresh. I take all this in while being lost in my music.

While police were talking with her, Wilbanks admitted where was no abduction and no attack. She had been overwhelmed by her upcoming wedding.
My then-husband Steve said, “Well I’m not surprised. Look at her. She has crazy in her eyes.”
