Day One

Some people ask if I plan to write every day during this, or they think I am writing too much.  I guess I had a lot of exposition I wanted to get out on the table before I started.  I'll be writing whenever I feel like it and/or am able to.

Ok, day one.  Audra had her first day at her new job today.  Her building downtown is the same one that housed our wedding reception/restaurant three years ago.  I had a half hour to wait for her to get done, and my first inclination was to go down to the bar in that restaurant and grab a beer.  It would be nice to have one with her once she got done too, I thought, since it is neat that these locations coincided. Secondly, today is one month since my mom passed, and I thought a glass of wine with my Dad would have been appropriate.  It got a bit late and I still want to go for a run tonight, so I am going to do that instead.  I am running in a 5k to benefit ovarian cancer on Saturday.  I'm sure Dad understands:)

Overall, a fine cool sober September day.  I found out my good friend Mark is also going to take a break from drinking, so I'll have some company.  It always helps to have someone for moral support.  Or at least to help you think you aren't crazy!
