    When one is willing and eager...

    "...the gods join in." --Aeschylus

    Last weekend, I took my first-ever visit to California wine country. 'Went there for a wedding, and after 40 days AF, I was struggling over the decision to mod or remain AF during the trip. I had read many accounts here of how a slip started people back down the wrong path, and I didn't want to destroy everything I had worked so hard for. While mulling it over, I drove through a small town and absent-mindedly read the list of movies on the local theater's marquis. The first one was "Imagine That." The second movie listed was "The Hangover." They must have been running low on marquis letters, because they omitted the word "the." Thus, it read (in big black and white letters):

    "Imagine That
    Hangover"

    I'm still AF.

            Congratulations Lil on 40 days. One of my memories is a vacation in Napa Valley. I remember the drive to the Valley from San Francisco and the hangover leaving 4 days later. I wish I could remember what I did in between. I don't suppose you snapped a pic of that marquis?

            All my best, Blu

                  Thanks, everyone and heehee -- I guess I'm one of those people who needs things spelled out in big block letters. Sorry Bluz, by the time I thought of snapping a pic, we were already halfway home. 'Have never done very well with photos on a trip. I either bring the camera and forget to use it or I take so many snaps that I miss the view itself.

                            My kiddo dropped a school paper on the way out this a.m. Staring at me was " Alcohol. Why it's so bad for you". They are doing a term paper on it. Fabulous.:H
