- for Eggs New Orleans at Cafe Artiste
- for a delightful Sunday afternoon with KCK. Shopping and laughs at Hollywood Mega-Queer Store and...
- to drop into the Menil Collection on a whim and wander around with no one there but the security guards. Works by Max Ernst, Magritte, Rauchenberg and Warhol. A wonderfully austere exhibit of works by Joseph Bueys, especially the display cabinets and the room of fallen basalt rocks.
- for chocolate covered cherry cordials
- to have a life of order and calmness
- that awareness of the continuous moment allows me such a life
- that I did not lose my temper with Cingular, I was however very firm
- that confrontations make me very uncomfortable, I am out of practice dealing with those situations
What a great day to be a Monday. I woke up this morning without a hangover and able to sit here with a relatively alert mind. That would not have been the case back in my drinking days. I would be dreading the day, my equilibrium all messed up, try to just make til 12:00 so I could get away for lunch, stumble through the afternoon thinking about getting home to take that drink to make all those feelings go away. How creepy it is now to think about those days. When I first came into the rooms of AA I was told that I never had to feel that way again, and for 391 days I haven't, and for that I am truly grateful. I hope your Monday treats you like the wonderful person you are.
Weekly contemplation:
Never lose touch with the inner Shakti, the inner power, which is always present, always strong, and which refreshes you as though you were taking a shower in holy water. The wellspring of the Self is always there. --Gurumayi Chidvilasananda

Confrontations. hmmmm
That came up during my recent job interview. Confrontations are my absolutely worst skill. I hate them. Isn't it strange that I was a friggin baseball umpire and sports official for 10 years? Ahh, the things we do.
