Several months ago, I noticed that every time I came home from a long day and poured myself a glass of wine with the purpose of relaxing, without fail and within the hour I was crying. Things were all around more complicated then. Love was tricky, life was confusing and drinking alone became an invitation to a pity party. Things are decidedly less complicated now, so when I dropped my purse on the... yes, i really did I know, I know. I’m such a launch tease. But I swear it’s not my fault.

To support the trucking industry, let us hope thedeadlines are extended well past September 15, 2005. About the author:Richard A.
