I saw a lot of sadness in this song.

Yeah, I still like the song and the band but don't identify with it so much anymore ('specially the "bugs crawlin' all over me" part). He's from a small town right up the road from here and the local altrock radio station is playing this song a lot. Talented bunch of guys.

Went to the conv-store about 1/7th of a mile from my house this morning (formerly my quick-grab for booze) and the guy turns to the liquor shots as soon as I reach the counter anticipating my request for "the usual". I asked for smokes (for the wife -altho I do sneak a few still), he sez "no honey today"?, I say " no thanks, quit a couple weeks ago". I'm swiping and he adds " how's that going for ya"? I say "Great! less mileage on the car for coming over here thrice daily"! (He looked at me quizzically and said "thrice"? I say "uh..three times" (he's a millenial--poor kid). Bee-U-tee- full weather we're having here following a warm front coming through bringing some rain and a lot of wind. Gonna let the dog walk my daughter and I here in a few.

Bombers almost won this one...But didn't. I'll just watch/listen right here. My condolences to all who lost a loved one and the injured in paris. Such a cowardly and horrific act of "look at me".

My mistake. T'was not bombers at the concert but cold hearted shooters. Did not mean to make lite of it as many did lose their lives in this senseless, cowardly onslaught. My condolences. Makes me not wanna go to rock concerts.

Still sober and moving on with the moving out thing. May be gone from here in a coupla days as the poo has hit the windmill with the wife and I. I will be starting over with the clothes on my back (and a few more). Lotsa calls to make still and as much preparation as I can squeeze into 2 days. I'm still kinda slow but things are happening fast so I'm getting a crash course on life (it suits my high-strungedness). I did lay off the caffeine an hour ago so sleep will be sounder. Gonna go watch a movie with my daughter. Peace y'all.

I just read through your whole thread zombob and could definitely relate to parts. I'm glad to see you're doing well in terms of sobriety. You gotta lotta changes going on though, do you have a support system of some sort to hold you accountable? The only reason I ask is cause I see similarities between you and I, and I know when there are life changes is when I'm most likely to slip up.

Yes, my daughter is my accountability partner and SR is indispensable. My slippery times are when things are riding high and my karma is not gonna let that happen for quite a while. Truly, "just sitting" (Dogen, Suzuki) works very well to bring me back to reality. Finally re-started that ole vehicle yesterday (it cranked right up--very reliable). Peace
