Yeah, laughter is good, but one big decision for my recovery is to take a sabbatical from performing comedy for a long time. I dont want to hang out in clubs and bars, because if you are in the barber shop long enough, you will end up with a haircut. Can't wait to get my fish on!
Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.

Good on you Rich. Good on you.

because if you are in the barber shop long enough, you will end up with a haircut.

Not if you're already bald.  :smt044

Congrats and keep up the hard work; some days will be harder than others. Always have people around or available on the phone, all the time. Everybody has struggles of some kind.

You made a bold step and now the work begins.  There are several of Bill's friends in NCKA.  We are the ones that
are always up early fishing the day of the event, and then up early the day after the event ready to go.  No hangovers.
I'll pm you. :smt006
