Steve,

thank you so much for your blog. I appreciate the time and the effort you took in documenting this event more or less in real-time. From my own experience I know that it takes committment and a lot of self-discipline to take the time in an already busy schedule to attend to this. I’d like you to know, that It makes a difference for me whether I can access the information when it is actually happening or whether I have to wait until it’s over and … sort of gone …. I bet that’s the downside of our high-speed culture: a general attention deficit disorder (which might actually be an intention deficit disorder, as I recently read somewhere). I hope that many of my fellows here in Nova Scotia had the opportunity (time and inspiration) to follow along. I was so curious to find out what happened to the abstinence definition and I am kind of disappointed that it didn’t pass - yes it is about much more than the food … but that’s where we start and that has to be clear … if I didn’t need to do that I’d read the Bible or the Sutras instead of the Big Book - the writing is much better (Big GRIN).

Anyways - here I get wired after the fact … another big GRIN.

So, I bow my head in gratitude and reverence of your service and skills - (can you teach me how to blog? what do I need?)

many warm hugs - life is good.

I thought the Q&A on the virtual motions went pretty well. I was afraid someone was going to get up and say “Do these take into account [fill in thing that we haven’t taken into account]?” and the motions would be revealed as completely structurally unsound. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen tomorrow, but it didn’t happen last night. And I got to make a USB joke, and they don’t come along very often.

Since I do not chair a conference committee, I went shopping yesterday afternoon! WHEEE!

good morning …. don’t work to hard. I loooove your posts and am just in the process of forwarding the link to our Nova Scotia OA community. I am so glad you can be there, that everybody can be there, that OA lives and thrives and I can hear the laughter and the chatting and I am - in my heart - with you.

hugs.

ah and hugs to Gaston, too. J’espere que tu vas bien, aussi, mon ami.

Good people doing service. I love that. Helps me very much right now. I am at work and I wish I was there with you - I could use some of hug city. However, today my service is here. My service is to recovery as a principle, to the principles of the program. Thank you for making that so explici through your commitment.

Big hug
