It has been a pleasure watching you grow away from that last drink.

Congratulations, it HAS been a pleasure watching you grow and walking side by side with you as it were

@mark/cubile

Haven't had my coffee, saw this "Porbably is in NY too" and was like where the hell is porbably, was seeing like poorbaby, or portabella, was having a "does not compute" moment reading your post over and over wondering where the hell poobaby new york was.

I wonder if it's "Probably New York", which is where I lived when I was drinking. Since I moved to "New York" I've been a lot better.

Thanks for all the good wishes. Just another day on the road, but it's nice to pause, reflect, and acknowledge all the people who help me, many of whom are on these boards.

Michael

Prolly is a good day in New York. Polly is a girl I knew there.
