Thanks, LaDita. I actually do have a really good friend in AA in the Bay Area who has stuck with me through thick and thin. I was up there a year ago and he was a perfect gentleman. Showed me around his town and took me to a couple of meetings. I spoke with him tonight and he is a great guy. So I do disagree. I think it's more about the person that the gender. I may go up there and spend a couple of days and perhaps even move. AA is different up there. Much more open minded and liberal.
