Got to a meeting last night. Only got a little lost on the way. I was on-time none the less. We had a small meeting. Just two young ladies and me. Topic was Step 11 and we read three selections from Lifeline followed by about 5 minutes of meditation. There was a very loud clock [...]

So, Tuesday was a good day. Most days are good but you already know that. I’d been looking forward to this Tuesday evening for a few weeks. This was the Tuesday I planned to audition for part in a local play. I prepared by reading For Today, out loud and with more of a dramatic [...]
