Well, the party has ended, and a new one began. I let the high life get to me, and I went to rehab. Best decision I have ever made! I feel better than I can recall in my adult life. I will be coming back to my "home group" (AA lingo) NCKA. Thanks for the letters while I was away from those that knew, and the support from you as well. I am looking forward to some great NCKA outings soon, so tight lines everyone!

Great choice man, there are plenty of ways to have lots of fun just livin! Nothing beats the sunrise over a duckblind IMHO :smt003
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Thanks guys, Craig you are right, one bad impulse away from misery, and misery is one patient SOB!
