Day 6 and I actually rode my bike around the block today. 1st ride in almost 2 years. Felt like I was living again. Time to move from this here shit-hole. 14 months living in Port Jervis, NY and I finally realized waking up in this town without a hangover is even worse then waking up with one.

At least i haven't been driving home -just walking home. I've broken 3 ribs and sustained a mild concussion when attacked by some robots. There is one thing i've learned during this 5 decade-long love-hate, on again-off again relationship with alcohol: there is nothing that gets you a good stare into the abyss than 6 pints of stout, followed by a red bull and jagermeister.

Good on you, man. Your words about going dry could have come out of my mouth over the last 6 weeks. I started hitting it hard a few years ago after grad school when I was burnt out and dealing with a cancer wife. Though I certainly wasn't shy about getting tanked throughout my 20's, north of 35, I was going downhill fast. Everything sucked. I even stopped turning the pedals. I went cold turkey after finally finding clarity during 1500 miles on my moto. I haven't felt this great since I was a sober high schooler. My passion, creativity, and humor are back. My wife, now fully in remission, and I are starting our first attempt at breeding next spring: that alone is a perfect reason to retire the liver abuse thing. It's being born-again without all the holy geebus mumbojumbo. Major fistbump, Jonny. Dang; I don’t check out your blog for a few years and the tits/ass is gone along with the sauce. Good on you, man.

Those that choose to be great agents of good often work for free. The costs involved in maintaining a law practice are huge these days. Few dare not carry malpractice insurance, which, like in medicine, is through the fucking roof. That's a starter. A good lawyer will choose justice over wealth. A shit fuck lawyer will work patent infringement on behalf of Monsanto for $500 an hour. Judge not unless you know how that shit works. I know a lawyer who charges $200 an hour from paying clients and he volunteers; front-running a free legal clinic for people who have NO money. He wears pants that aren't as fancy as mine, and I'm a damn student... Not a law student, a paralegal student. We are the folks who write the documents. Lawyers are the ones that sign them. "It is a truly wealthy man that works to achieve tears of joy in the eyes of a client, and walks away with no check in his pocket." This should be the benchmark of success for a lawyer on the side of good. We're grooming Big Jonny for this, cause his heart is in the RIGHT place. Easy on Big J, dave – not all lowyers are hi-dolla.

Currently turning things around, happy to say, and finding true happiness. I don't know where you are in life but you are realizing something many don't. Kudos... It's different for everyone. I have close friends who can wake'n'bake everyday, drink a handle a week, and continue to be creative, productive, members of society. I can't. Some days I am jealous... Don't give Johnny shit dave, he's got it right. littlejar,
