An uneventful birthday is a Happy Birthday. Took the day off, slept in that morning, hung around the house, had some cheesecake, played some WoW...what more did I really need?

Widow denies role in alcohol enema

She says her husband gave himself the lethal dose of sherry

Tammy Jean Warner said her husband, Michael Warner, 58, not
only had a longtime alcohol problem but had been addicted to
enemas since he was a child.

"There's no way I could have gave my husband that enema, no
way," Warner said during an interview at her attorney's office.

A Brazoria County grand jury indicted her on a charge of
negligent homicide. Prosecutors claim she provided alcohol
for Warner even though she knew he'd been warned that alcohol
could kill him.

She is free on $30,000 bond.

An autopsy report said his blood-alcohol level was 0.47
percent, almost six times the legal intoxication limit for
operating a motor vehicle.

"It all started back when he was a child," Warner said. "His
mother used to give him enemas all the time, and he started
to depend on them all the time."

She said he paid $1,000 to study colonics at a school and
corresponded with other enema users on the Internet.

Not all of his enemas involved liquor, she said.

"He did coffee enemas, he did Castile soap, Ivory soap," she
said. "He had enema recipes."

She said he liked to use wine or sherry in enemas because
that would allow his body to absorb alcohol faster than
drinking it. Sherry and wine were easier on his digestive
system than other forms of alcohol, she said.

"He would drink, too, but his favorite was enemas," she said.

Investigators said medical problems kept him from ingesting
alcohol by drinking it, but his widow said he would drink
as well.

"My husband could drink very well with any problem he had,"
she said.

Here's to having my head screwed on straight for the drive home...

Last night (considering the previous blog entry) I drove home in a daze. Got all weird again, but not the angry, quasi-self-loathing weird. It was that sorta It's a Wonderful Life-moment kinda weird. The mind drifts off and you wonder all the what-if's and explore them all.



Fucking with my own head is a joy and privilage I reserve for myself.
