By midnight, I’d had two glasses of wine and I was out of cigarettes. I’d been pretty good before I left, but the stress of the breakup and resulting road trip created a situation in which cigarettes are not only preferred, but almost required. I guess one would say I fell off whatever wagon I’d been more or less on - or running aside

I'm a little slow - feels like I went away on a quest and came back to find everyone speaking a different language. I'm no longer fluent in this particular dialect of meme.

I'll be up in the MKE eventually. Is there a chance for some derby action?

Thanks, but to be perfectly honest, I've kept the best pain for myself for the last year or so.

I always did love me best.

I sincerely believe everybody should feel this way.

Me too, until someone brings Ayn Rand into the equation...

Fine line, of course, between loving yourself best and actually liking yourself. I suppose that makes it like any other serious relationship.
