Gregory Alan Isakov - The Stable Song - How'd She Know

A strange thing happened during the summer of 2018.  I was drawn, mental pictures and all, to the Looking Glass Creek in Transylvania County, North Carolina, imbedded deep in the Pisgah National Forest, to a spot where I once played, just below Sliding Rock.  I told my wife that I wanted to go there, so off we went.  I drove so Stacey could have a beer on the way.

As we approached Highway 276, which would run parallel to the Looking Glass Creek, Stacey said, "this one's for Daddy," and played the Stable Song.  I big fat tear rolled down the left side of my face, unbeknownst to Frank and Stacey.  How'd she know?

Addicts and Alcoholics

What separates addicts and alcoholics from the rest of society is their need to constantly adjust the thermostat on their consciousness in order to cope with their own vagaries.  They are alcoholics and addicts because they have effectively lost control over their intake, called "unmanagability" in AA parlance. This naturally throws off balance their ability to make the thermostatic adjustments to their congnitive interactions with people, places, and things associated with this incremental life on planet earth.  Probably has something to do with what's called, "affect." Who knows?
