I’m grateful for coffee and a bright, sunny morning. I’m grateful it’s Friday and for a long weekend. I’m grateful for surviving basketball in the park. I’m grateful for cheesy jokes and the people who laugh at them. I’m grateful for dogs in the elevator. I’m grateful to see that trust and faith work. I’m grateful for letting go of the things not meant for me. I’m grateful to be sober today.
That is not the same picture as yesterday. It was taken at about the same time and at about the same place, but it’s different. I don’t usually do two very similar pictures in a row on purpose, but I just really love the way the sky looks in these pictures.1 I hope you’ve had a chance to check out the Liner Notes for Episode 14 of Breakfast with an Alcoholic:2
Updates headed into the weekend: Like I keep saying, there will be a new episode of Breakfast with an Alcoholic this weekend. No word from Kareem. I now officially recommend his Substack newsletter and the folks at Substack have let me know that I’ve already generated one subscription for “The Captain,” so maybe there will be a shout-out in the near future.3Fingers crossed.
Thanks for Letting Me Share
Also, technically, this is my newsletter and I could run the same picture everyday and if you don’t like it…Oh wait, on second thought, don’t do that. I’ll put up a new picture tomorrow. But doesn’t it remind you of this a little?
I don’t mean to pressure you, but there is another new episode of Breakfast with an Alcoholic coming this weekend and just don’t want you to get too far behind.
As a boy, I liked to point out that Kareem and I were the same length at birth: 22 3/4 inches. I don’t think it was creepy that I knew that, it was in a book I read in the 4th Grade. Not sure when our height paths diverged, but he’s definitely taller than me now.
