Thanks for your post. You are right as far as the apology email probably being superfluous, and hence not part of LRT or a 180.
I agree with you about GAL activities. In fact, I'm doing one tongiht, attending a movie (for free, got a pass) with a new group of people that I don't know yet from my local meetup.com's movie group! I actually met a really cool woman there that now I'm very close with years ago, but haven't gone to too many things otherwise with the group. It's a good way to get out of your comfort zone and see new stuff and try new things.
