haven't checked in for a while.

I feel like shit. Did the ER thingy. Thanks to Obama, I can claim I was beat up by members of ACORN or SEIU by mistake. I feel kinda rotten about that. ACORN paid for the lawyer that kept us in the house. The cops don't mess with us any more. They sometimes come up after someone, and we allow them into the public area of the house. If a resident is in a jam, they come into the public area, and submit to the arrest. We usually can get someone out on bail within 36 hours. I'm making an effort to come down to the party every night. I want to isolate myself. That's a sign of possible depression. I've cut way back on the drinking. My bud The Locksmith quit drinking entirely. He refuses to enable the state. I don't have his discipline.
