sobriety

I never got had much faith in the 12-stepper stuff. I'm not knocking it; the program has helped zillions of folks get a grip on their addictions, but I couldn't get behind the "higher power" philosophy, no matter how they tried to open it to include any God-figure.

We've got one Housing First program here in Nashville, as I've mentioned previously, Fisk Court.

A new movie opening this weekend at the IFC Center is a film-festival favorite called "Shotgun Stories" and I am happy to see my old friend Mike Abbott playing a major part and wanted to help spread the word about this film. It's slated for a Nashville screening at the Belcourt in June.

From some very humble beginnings, Stone Soup Station just had it's 10,000th visitor.

Weeeee, that one was a doozy, eh? Maybe I should stick to wine tonight. I did get a fancy new bottle opener from my sister for Christmas that needs breaking in.

Meanwhile, back in sobriety, lets catch up on a few fragments.
