Thoughts on our times at the river

A good friend of mine has said that quitting drinking is like being a salmon swimming upstream in our culture. For me, I’m not really trying to swim up against that current. I’ve got me an old lawn chair, and I’ve plopped it into the river, just outside the current, in the water enough to keep cool, to watch the parade of partiers floating by. It’s not always fun to watch though. Especially after dark.
