Alice, it's great that you're working well with your shrink. I don't think a person can go looking for happiness -- or like Dorothy & Oz, you only have to look in your own back yard -- but I admit it would do me good to develop some interests in the world. I'm trying to be open to serendipity.

Busy but not a lot of drama around here recently -- mostly because there's been not much word from my son. I hope that's a good thing. I'm going to be the speaker at another AA meeting on Saturday -- will let you know how it goes. I feel like last time was kind of a disaster, but I can't even if I'd like to.
