Cyan Magenta Yellow Black
“No one was having a good day. It was December in Minnesota in 1993 and we were all at a stage in our life where our therapist thought we might be less loser-like if we met late Monday morning. Late morning, because early morning wasn’t an option for some of us—because some of us couldn’t keep ourselves from loitering in the hours past midnight. But it had to be Monday morning because the point of this meeting was to inflect the remainder of the week. We should have been in twelve-step programs, but we lacked the required focus to be alcoholics. We should have had families but we misplaced them or never formed them or rejected them as worse than loneliness.”
