My oldest living friend and I communicate through daily texting of lines from the surprisingly lowbrow comedy movie Talladega Nights.
We know every line…
At midnight tonight, pausing from a daily run under the Golden Gate Bridge, I wondered what our communication meant.
It’s this: What you think or say doesn’t matter…it’s what you do.
Are you masturbating?
Are you eating meat?
Are you drinking beer?
Are you smoking cigars?
Are you drinking coffee?
This is what’s important to us. Everything else…is just a line from Talladega Nights.
Thanks my friend. You don’t know how much you mean to me.
“Hold on baby Jesus…this is gonna get bumpy”.

AA has an expression: “It’s a good thing that all the inmates don’t go crazy on the same day”.
That means: When someone dives back into their addiction, or multiple addictions, there are others who are staying sober, or getting really better, and there is usually one or two persons who are actually incendiary devices, they are so on fire.
Thank God for the Group Of Drunks…

I am so grateful to be abstinent this morning.
I lived my life, since I was 15, as an amorphous conglomeration, a “moving target”, of addictions.
This morning, my mind is clear and calm, and my heart is content.
As Lao Tse says “Contentment is my greatest treasure”.
I am so grateful…

I asked my wife how she felt about doing some chastity and she agreed.
The balance of the night was sweet, peaceful, light yet close.
I am grateful for this simple gift that I give myself and offer up to our coupleship.

Perceptions:
When people first see me and Alona they often believe that I am in this marriage for the sex.
They often believe Alona is in it for the money.
What they don’t know is that I am always angling for chastity and she married a musician…I mean, how much money could there be in that enterprise? We laugh about that a lot.
I see something in my wife that no one else can see…
I always tell Alona the story: Do you know how many people know who the 6th best mathematician in the world is?…Only 5.
I don’t want to embarrass her, but…
My wife is the most spiritually gifted woman I have ever met. Not through education or degrees, but just out of the raw, naked talent, purified in the crucible of 14 years of emotional abuse and physical deprivation.
How do I know that?…Because, I am one of the 5.
Thank you God for blessing me with way, way more than I deserve.
