Addiction
Note: I felt compelled to start something after a long day of teaching last week... I am not sure, but this feels like the beginning of something much longer. I need your input.

The Last Drink
Note: just to nip this in the bud, I do not have a problem with alcohol, but I have seen the effects of dipsomania and addiction in certain relatives and friends. It might seem odd for a Smooth challenge, but I think I have made a point. - K.D.

What is forgiveness? What could you forgive? I have just read Brian Moore's “The Statement”. I had no intention of writing this review, but the book has not allowed me to set it aside and think of the next one on my list. I am, instead, considering the two questions at the beginning of this piece.

The Five Types of Meat You Get in Heaven. Top Story - November 2023.
Note: my head has been in a weird place over the last few days. I have just lost my godmother after a very long illness, and even though it was not a surprise, I am still getting used to a world without her love, attitude...and wicked sense of humour. I had this in a notebook for quite a while, and I needed a laugh at the exact moment when I rediscovered it this morning. The title of Mitch Albom's book was perfect for a parody...
