Well....I think things happen for a reason....
It's been almost 40 days since the transmission went out in my van. And I haven't had a car to drive. I'm broke. Stuck out here in the boonies. But good things are happening....
I haven't been giving the oil companies $150 a week for my gasoline like I was. I haven't been able to buy beer for 40 days, so I'm doing good in rehab out here...I don't have high-speed internet, so I'm getting other things done out here...and I'm reading books that I haven't had the time to read over the last 15 years.
And the list goes on....
Good things are happening to this poor man...who's just a filmmaker in the boonies...

30 Days without a Drink...and Counting...
Well....the rehab continues here in farm country....
Today makes 30 days without having a drink. I can't remember the last time I've gone more than 30 days with no liquor. I can think of times I've gone 2 or 3 weeks; but never this long.
That's not a good thing. I remember back over the last 25 years of my drinking since I graduated high school in 1983...in the last 25 years, I always remember having a drink....this rehab time out here in the boonies is a much needed time.
It's probably a good thing I'm not in NYC right now for the AMC screening of my film PHONE SEX GRANDMA. If I was there, I'd probably be getting shit-faced with the free booze at the parties. I know this time is a good time for my body.
You'd think with me being vegan and so health-conscious, that I wouldn't drink either, because it pollutes my body. Isn't that something?
These last 4 weeks, I've had so much trouble sleeping too. In the last week, I don't think I've slept a total of 10 hours. I just toss and turn at night, and my mind won't stop working while I'm in bed. These last few days, My head and face has been numb and throbbing a lot. I sometimes have to take aspirin or Benadryl to make myself relax and go to sleep. I wonder if this is a withdrawal symptom from not drinking?
If it is, I just have to have the withdrawals...I'll get through it. I can sleep when I'm dead.
I just have to think of my life, my films, and PHONE SEX GRANDMA:
It makes it all worth it....
