We really enjoyed seeing Jersey Boys last night and our dinner at the Italian Village.  When I got home, there were four messages on my machine from my mother.  It seems as though one of her neighbors told her that she heard I was in AA.  My mother again asked me if it was true about Mrs. Murphy or if I had some sort of drinking problem that I was keeping from the family.  I explained again that Mrs. Murphy is a nice, elderly woman who just had the trauma of losing her friend suddenly at the Wicked play.  She found comfort in a little bit of scotch now and then, so what?  My mother said that she wanted to meet Mrs. Murphy so that she could be sure.  I can’t believe how she is interfering in my life.  There was another message from my neighbor, Paul.  Apparently, he has still be unable to find his cat after more than a few days.  He asked me to help him look for it.  This is the first time that Mrs. Sparkles has been missing for such a long time so I am a bit concerned.  I went out this morning looking for her and could not find her.  Paul seemed despondent.  Not only was he upset about losing Mrs. Sparkles, but I imagine about the robbery that took place that house in the next town with the Texas Holdem guys.  Plus I think he misses Bill who has actually joined AA and has been sober for nearly 48 hours.  I hope we find Mrs. Sparkles soon!
