I've had to say goodbye to carbonated beverages. I butted heads with my new boss. J got in an accident. Trying to stick with my disciplines. Work will help me if I go down again. I have some really good friends. I Am Legend is a great book. I answer a listener email. When we're down we've got to find whatever harmless thing that makes us feel good and do that.
