1. I love a rainy day.
2. The sustained horn of a cargo ship as it passes under the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges in the fog.
3. The duck boots Nancy gave me for Christmas.
4. The man at the meeting tonight who had once had 25 years and now has 35 days.  It’s a sobering (no pun) reminder.
5. And the woman next to him who was so consumed with anger, who so hates her life, who has “nothing: no family, no kids, no man, a shitty job I hate,” and who wants nothing to do with her sponsor when she talks about the steps.  Again, a sobering reminder.

Many thanks,

Me
