TV Hits Too Close to Home

Strange story, but I decided to actually sit and watch some TV tonight and while flipping through the channels, I happened to see one with a building I knew from childhood. Then they mention the name of my sister's husband's brother.

What a coincidence, I think. But it's not. The picture was indeed of my brother-in-law-in-law who was murdered by a friend of his because of an arson case. Suddenly, all these relatives by marriage fill the screen, plus a few other people I knew or I worked with in my relative youth.

I can't say I expected to find old home week on Court TV. Ick.

The whole story reminds me why after watching my sister's marriage, her husband, and her in-laws, I decided to stay single.
