RE: Memoir Monday #50 (2/17-2/23) - What Sign(s) from the Universe Did You Totally Ignore at First? How did you finally “get the message”?

Ah, gee, who knew Mr. Vance Walton was in jail? I can imagine the bad taste in your mouth, my friend!!!! Sometimes, as you rightly say, we need those jolts to get our bearings. At least you managed to get out of that labyrinthine routine of destruction. I can imagine how many of your friends did not manage to get out of the hole and paid dearly for the blindness of not seeing the signs. Have a nice Valentine's Day, Eric. Hugs

It certainly was a jolt! I got lucky and my cell mates were decent people. I remember one older guy saying he was getting out in 1999 and he was sure the civilization as we know it would end with Y2k. The friend who was arrested with me has struggled with addiction and homelessness throughout his adult life. He just recently got sober though and I'm hoping he triumphs this time. Thank you Nancy! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
