Easy, stay home on your estate and plae with with you plane o your
private arstrip and you won't have anyone to bother you.

Or just get the hell out of the closet and admit what everyone else
already knows.

Not saying it was special ... just the first time that we had tried to
figure out what it was we saw in the daily news.

We were on a cruise and there was a "Friends of" a male name that I
forget. I had wondered about that. Is that the reverse of the "Friends
of Dorothy"?

If it was "Friends of Bill W", this was a meeting place for Alcoholics
Anonymous, named after Bill Wilson, co-founder of the organization.

We were on a cruise the week after the Colts won their first
Superbowl as an Indy team (the next is a couple weeks away). A couple of
the wags in our group decided to have a "Friends of Peyton M" group. It
was well attended. (g).

Right. "Friends of Bill W" is a Alcoholics Anon. group. There's a lot
of drinking on cruise ships so this is great that they can go to an AA
meeting with other alcoholics. They had meetings on a recent cruise I
was on.

I stayed at a hotel in Fairbanks Alaska and on the way to have a drink I
passed a sign that said "friends of Bill." All of a sudden a group of
people came running into the bar and a man sat down next to me and
mentioned his friends of Bill meeting just let out. I told him I didn't
think you were allowed to drink when attending these meetings. His
response was "we're not supposed to drink but we all do."

That seems dangerous.
