Gilmer

I feel better after a good night's sleep. Thank you guys for being merciful. I have been under a lot of stress during the past few months, and instead of dipping from the well of spirituality last week, I got rebellious and just determined to "relax" by escaping in alcohol. Don't crack, Stevie. It's a slippery slope--if you have one, you'll have another. Then you'll have more the next day, and you'll be hooked again. The only reason I arrested the downward trend was that I found I couldn't pray with a clear conscience--I had to confess it to my husband and renounce it. Unfortunately, that went over like a lead balloon. Then I had to be at this big party. Too much socializing will be the death of me. After New Years it will slow down--good thing!

Dorothy, is the work you're adapting for the BBC on Samuel Johnson? I get a kick out of him. I think his biographer, James Boswell, was the coolest. I would love to follow an interesting person around and chronicle their every move!
