5 years ago - followup

Just re-reading my post from Monday. I came to the last one, 5 years ago. I started thinking back a bit more, and thought about all the people I didn't know then. N and S. TD. Boss. Am I a better person for knowing all of them? Maybe. Define 'better'. I'm different, I know that. Life is more interesting, that's for sure. For better and worse. Remember the old chinese curse: May you live in interesting times.

Money is continuing to be a problem. Now the car needs service. Some days it just doesn't want to fire on all cylinders. Could be anything from plugs to distributor, I guess. Still no word from State Farm on the review of our claim (I guess I never went into details here. They've stopped reimbursing for meds, or even paying bills pending a review of our claim. All prescriptions we buy we've not been reimbursed.). Our lawyer skipped town without forwarding information to anybody, forcing us to go to another lawyer and start from scratch again. Thankfully all the appropriate suits were filed before the limitations expired. And now the car. It'll be another 3 weeks or so before my next influx of surprise money/design fee for the next show across town.

I'm surprised that I'm not drinking again. Except for the beer while darting last friday, I haven't had any booze. Yes, I miss my friend, The Captain.
