Re: Sober posting
I was scoffing at the notion of Sober January because apparently people want a break for many reasons after the indulgences of December. Yet I had not indulged; I still wanted indulgence! I vowed to have non-sober January! You can guess how it ended: I worked like a mule all January and had no indul...

In other words, he's saner than I gave him credit for and probably listened to the military advice. He's still the patho...
