Jeff...3 Christmas' in a row to be down is....not good. Ya know something, for the first time..this year...I found myself 'enjoying' walking thru the mall and window shopping. Dunno...guess it was the feeling of survival.

Do what Cunningham says. We need to drop the DB anagrams...or..whatever...the STBXW, W, GAL, DB, OM, PA.....crap...etc...and move on. They are writing 'tattoos' that are negative reminders.

I'm starting to side a bit with WCW. As I move thru this, the 'man' thing gets a bit ...hmmmm....?cliche? ?misogynistic? ..not sure. I know what you mean and quoted the same stuff.

I think it comes down to, still, the detachment as described by Gray. Realizing that XXX is NOT the only person who will love and respect you ..will lift you and allow you to see out the right person that WILL. Start working towards getting your 'invincible summer' in the middle of winter.

Jeff.....remember Shawhank. "Get busy living or get busy dying." DON'T DO THE LATTER.

Start Jeff. January 2nd. Start.
