Please say a prayer for the Journal's photo editor Steve and his wife, Mary Lou, who were seriously injured in a motorcycle accident near Saginaw.
From all accounts, Steve was driving the speed limit and doing everything he should when a vehicle performed an illegal maneuver and caused the accident.
Mary Lou is in better shape, but Steve has a long recovery road ahead. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Steve is a guy who has one of the toughest jobs in the newsroom and over the years has taken a lot of guff from all of us.
After Steve is better I'll tell the story of a three-day trip in 1995 (back in the days when the Journal actually spent the money to send reporters out-of-town to cover stories) to Bowling Green, Ohio where Steve and I covered a well-publicized murder case.
It was in Bowling Green that Steve and I shared a package of underwear. But like I said, a light story for another time.
Steve, ol' buddy, get well soon.

Steve is a prince of a fellow, and my prayers are with him and his family. I'm stunned by this most unfortunate news and hope my "Bro" makes a complete recovery. He's one of the Good Guys and deserves the best.
Amen, gamaliel!
According to the latest update, I hear that Mary Lou is improving and may even go home from the hospital this weekend. She had fewer broken bones than first diagnosed and has responded well to surgery and treatment. She still has an extensive rehab ahead of her.
Steve was (as of Thursday night) still on a ventilator and heavily sedated due to his extensive injuries. Many broken bones, etc.
The good news is that he is on the long road to mending and we continue with our prayers for him.
My small group fellowship offered prayers for Steve, Mary Lou and all the folks caring for their children and pets on Wednesday.
If you are a prayer, pray.
