We forget how fun it can be to hang out with our families. Sure, they make us want to tear our hair out sometimes, but we all share the same fundamental values, at least mine does. This impacts our senses of humor, which are shared. Each of us loves our families, but we don’t all behave that way all the time. Some more than others.

Me, I’m talking about myself. I’ve gone off the continental United States to meet a man I’d never met before. Needless to say, my family worried, a lot, I imagine.

Even more worrisome than this is my drinking. That’s why I’ve decided to stop. Cold turkey. Immediately.

It won’t be easy but I always have caffeine-free sugar-free coke to quench my thirst in the evening. More than that I’ve got myself. I’ve overcome impossible challenges in the past. This shouldn’t be difficult.
