Conventions, get-togethers, etc…

Posted on by Johnnyboy


The 14th Annual SE European International AA Convention in Greece has officially been posted. I will be making my reservations soon, for a three-person room. I can always sell the beds. There is always overflow. The prices have not increased, which is nice because the almighty dollar is tanking. The dates, btw, are May 15-18 2008. The link is not up on the Int’l Events listing yet, but it will be.

I will also be attending the NERAASA (Northeast Regional AA Service Assembly) in New Jersey come February. Since I am my groups GSR and have just been appointed Alternate District Chairperson, I have to go. It will be fun because I am not going alone. It will be me and at least 4 other folks–the District 17 DCM, the other AltDCM, and our Treasurer.

I have been looking for a new eye in my photography. I have made some changes. I am using a 50mm lens, shooting only in b/w, and have switched off the auto focus. the last represents my final step towards full manual operations. Here is a picture I took yesterday. It’s all about textures and time. I am calling this ‘Stigmata’.

Johnnyboy is a queer recovering alcoholic. For the moment he is also the primary caregiver for his mother, who suffers from age-related cognitive impairment. She is happy as a lark and is surrounded by a crew of sober women which gives him the freedom he needs to get out of town. When he is not at home in Somewheresville, he is searching out the proper path to travel for happiness and joy. He is a photographer who believes in the digital age, but feels that film is still where its at. He has a darkroom and works in it. He is single and is in remarkably great physical condition for all the damage he has submitted his body to. His cardiologist is very happy. Johnnyboy is over the age of 35.
