Sobriety...

It seems that writing while under the influence can be both fun and educational. I tend to be both honest and obtuse at the same time. Take my last post for example...It was 3am, I'd been at the Brass all night, Matt had just become a father (woohoo!), Iz had just lost his job to nefarious evildoers (hence the bar and beer) and I had just found out about Dougal getting laid out by the junkies with the bat. Now it would probably have been easier to just say those things and be done, but I wanted vengeance that night (!!!). Blood and bone to repay the harm done to mine. And, I'd been drinking. So we end up with a post about life in a hippy-dippy nonsense kinda way. I posture and act tough and say how I'm gonna do this and these other guys are gonna do that. And maybe we will. But now, looking back a bit, I'm much more excited about this picture of Dougal I took a week later. He still has his hospital bracelet on. We're all in a good place here. That's what I'd really like to be posting. I just need to stay sober to do so...
