Saw an interesting movie: Body Brokers, with Michael K. Williams. Usually Craig can predict the plot, but there was a slight twist in the middle of the movie, involving the doctor. I would expect the cops to be the villain, but not here.

Also I was reading a book by Bill Nye the science guy. He talks about the four freedoms mentioned in FDR’s speech: freedom of speech, religion. But also freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Compare that eloquence to Republicans who shout freedom all over the place. Deep thinkers.

One of my oldest friends was surprised by how much counseling I get at the methadone clinic I’m at now, Aegis. Well, I do adore my main counselor. I also like my substitute counselors. I get once a week phone counseling, and then Kaiser throws in two or three sessions a quarter. So it seems like I get to yak about myself a lot.

Because I haven’t use heron since I moved to the L.A. area, I don’t feel the need for counseling with using hard drugs. But one of the best parts of counseling is I try to make use of feedback from my counselors.

I have gotten along with all of my counselors, except for one, the one I call the Queen of Mean. That happened at Venice Clinic, and it was very confusing and even traumatic for me. Soon I’ll write about the whole story. but it is complicated.

Bye for now…
