Man to friend: "Why do scuba divers always fall backwards out of the boat?" Friend: "Because if they fell forwards they'd still be in the boat!"

D'j'u like that? It made me laugh, anyway. Need laughs. At the midday aa meeting I went to there was lots of laughter, though none of it could be written about - you had to have been there! It is vital to remember that 'recovery' is ongoing and continuous and an alcoholic is only ONE drink away from losing it all. the rest of us can have a couple of glasses of wine and be FINE.

I am preparing for a trip to Africa in August. And to see Phoebe. She is such a lovely thing! I look forward to the trip and am preparing a bunch of colorful flags to take and leave with the church in Kenya, after having taught a workshop on Flags in Worship. My Kenyan "daughter," Cellestine, will learn sewing as we make the flags. Sunday.
