Last week, Governor Mike Parson commuted the prison sentence of a criminal who in 2021 drove drunk and struck a stalled vehicle on I-435 in Kansas City at roughly 84 miles per hour. There were children in the stalled car. One child, a five-year-old girl, suffered a broken skull, bleeding under the skull, bruising of the brain and a traumatic brain injury. The drunk man’s blood alcohol level at the time of the crash was .113. Yahoo News reports that the criminal had already served time for a road rage incident in 2007 in which he pointed a gun at another driver.

“Long ago, and oh, so far away,” my roommate Debbie (yes, another one!) and I often went to a little Irish bar in Waldo in Kansas City to listen to the music played by an Irish band. They rollicked and rolled some traditional Irish music, such as “Galway Girl,” made us cry as they sang “Oh, Danny Boy” and “Wild Colonial Boy,” and gave us what we would have recognized as “standards,” such as “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.” But the one song that tightened our throats so much that we couldn’t sing along was “Irish Lullaby,” the final song in one of Debbie’s – and Max’s and my – favorite Christmas movies: “Going My Way,” with Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald.
