Relax – While I Can
Flew down to San Antonio this weekend to see Bill! 🙂 I awoke before the crack of dawn to get to the airport for my flight that was to leave before 6:00. Alas, when I arrived to check my bag I was informed that my flight had been delayed until 3:00 p.m. There didn’t appear to be any weather issues in DC or in Memphis so I asked the guy, why didn’t they send an…

For Bill
Meet for coffee? Hurricane Alex From “I have to mow my lawn” To “Could I have a kiss?” You popped the question I said yes From the Midwest To Broadway Flights back and forth Holding hands Kissing and loving So many introductions Planning trips Across the country Down the aisle Wedding Bell Blues Flowers and cards Love from a far Soon to be husband And husband Nothings ever made me happier No ones ever sent…

Weekend At the Opera
As you may know, I left for San Antonio early due to an encroaching storm which would have delayed my departure by at least a day had I not. Not that I’m complaining, spending an extra day with Bill is a real treat. I had Thursday pretty much to myself and didn’t do much outside of the norm. Friday morning (… 11:59 is still morning) we left for the long drive to Houston. There is…

Grouch and the Brainstorm
“If we were to live, we had to be free of anger. The grouch and the sudden rage were not for us. Anger is the dubious luxury of normal men, but for us alcoholics it is poison.” – As Bill See’s It, Page 5, (it references the Big Book on page 66, but it’s inaccurate. The Big Book says: “…the grouch and the brainstorm…” which strikes me as funny.). I’ve recently seen some “normal men”…

Christmas Disease of Perception
I asked my boss what he wanted for Christmas to which he replied: a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. That’s easy enough. Not being a frequenter of liquor stores anymore, I kindly asked my roommate to go into a liquor store and purchase a big bottle of Jack Daniel’s in a gift box. He kindly agreed knowing that I would rather avoid such places unless absolutely necessary (the roommates a normy). He came out of the…

40th Birthday Trip
Turning 40 isn’t exactly something I was ever looking forward to, but I did make the best of it that I could. I had a great birthday trip with a great man and will tell you all about it. First, let me say really disappointing part of my trip was the service by US Airways. Two canceled flights due to “scheduled maintenance” the day before and the day of travel – if it was scheduled…

Old Age
This year I became old. Yes, yes, I know what you’re thinking 40 isn’t old… I’d agree with you normally, but this year all kinds of things happened that made me realize that yes, I’m old. This is the year that other people told their children or grandchildren that my name was “Mr. Prudlick” which has never happened before. Before it’s always been Jamez, or Uncle Jamez or Jamez and the giant peach, but never…

Thanks
I couldn’t have said at the beginning of this year that I would have anything to be thankful for outside of what I have every other year, but I hadn’t anticipated meeting Bill this year either. So below, in no particular order, are the things that I’m especially thankful for this year: Bill (my special guy that I’d given up finding at all) Suzanne and Pat (a guy couldn’t ask for better best friends) Gary…
