Bill's Notes

Zen Schmen
Yeah, I've done the Zen thing. Three years worth, at least. Studied Hinduism pretty serious, if you can about 12 weeks of meditation lessons, 'about a year of practice, and reading Christopher Isherwood as taking it seriously. Took years to debaise my mind from Eastern religions, and every once in a while, I recognize that once again I'm pursuing ecstasy, not a relationship with God.

But I'm an addict, you know. And today is the 18th anniversary of my sobriety.

Thanks, everyone. If you'd have told me 18 years ago that I'd go 18 years without a drink, I'd have begged you to shoot me :)

Last time I was in Vegas was 2002; I was there about 10 times between 1997 and 2002, watching game 7 of the 97 series with Monster at NY NY casino (I think). Always stayed out of trouble.
