Interesting meeting trip

I went to a meeting last night, 3 parts - getting there, the meeting, and getting back.

Getting there, I did NOT see a smashed turtle on the section where I dodged one. I did see another turtle smashed on a different road, so I know now what a run over turtle looks like. I did see, very much alive, two turkeys, a grey fox, and some deer. Dead on the road, several skunks (phewww). 

There were 6 of us at the step meeting, and 3 guys had over 30 years. My 18 years was the shortest time there. They read the second half of step 12 in the 12x12, about sober living, and we had a good discussion. I took a lot away from the meeting, and plan to go next week.

On the way back, on the 3 mile stretch from the Nature Center to the campground, I found myself dodging frogs. It had rained a little, and these little frogs were out in the road, and sometimes jumping, sometime just sitting in the road. I did my best to swerve in such a way as to hit the fewest number of frogs, but I must have got a handful of them. I double checked my sobriety and sanity, and, yes, the road was full of frogs.

Well, it's a beautiful morning, it's going to be a scorcher, so I'm going to get a hike in early.

Good to hear all is well. Step meetings, foliage and nature with some fancy gadgets too. Enjoy. Helen and I are going to Tenn for the weekend. Step 8 tonight. Hank
