AA is everywhere. But when they find someone from out of town with 18 years, the first thing they want me to do is be the lead speaker at a meeting. That's OK with me. I never have trouble finding meetings.

I spent a week boondocking at the Ohio Power Reclands where the power company greened up and made a bunch of fishing and camping spots out of old mining land. Locals call it "The Mines", it's southeast from Zanesville, heard of it, Gigi? At any rate, at the Friday meeting in town, I learned the group was having a campout. Guess where? Ha! We had a great time.

I'll never be lonely, unless I let it happen. I have well over 2 millon friends in the U.S. and Canada, and I can count on them. I haven't met some of them yet, but that doesn't matter.
