Dear Santa,
I don't know if you can do this, but for Christmas, I'd like for my mommy and daddy to get back together. Please see what you can do.
Love,
Teddy

Dear Teddy,
Look, your Dad's banging the babysitter like a screen door in a hurricane. Do you think he's gonna give that up to come back to your frigid, fat mom, who rides his ass constantly? It's time to give up that dream. Let me get you some nice Legos instead. Maybe you can build yourself a family with those.
Santa


todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

for the Eyes Wide Shut meeting I attend every weekday morning at 6:30 -- yesterday we only had 4 people, but it was a very powerful meeting punctuated with honesty

for the first few hundred drunks who unwittingly became the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous

that life's lessons continue all around me if I care to look

that I got my first Christmas Card in the mail (from a friend, not a business)

for help from a recovering alkie (who is a geek) in setting up my new computer 'cause I could not do it properly

The thing about creativity is, people are going to laugh at it. Get over it.
