One of the really funny things about life is that when you're up to your neck in shit, you get used to the smell. The last six years had been exactly that, each day worse than the day before. And all during that time, I had done everything I needed to do and had functioned one day at a time. Now, it was all catching up with me. * * * * * * I had come to N...

Being alone in the limo gave me too much time to watch the buildings of my summer home disappear as we made our way out of town to the suburban...
