    You seem to have left out “drinking.” Works for me.

    @Suki: I can think of other things to roll.
    @Bill: On the one hand, that goes without saying. On the other, today’s drinking can contribute to tomorrow’s anxiety, so that’s a slightly complicated one. (Don’t I know?)
    @Jim: How can I help you?
    @Joan: Actually the Scout was an anxiety-contributor (remember when you stepped on the starter fluid bottle and we all thought the whole car was going to explode?) … and the motorcycle that replaced it washes worry off with the wind. But you’ll be happy to know that the Scout sits exactly where I parked it, in Cleveland, and in the possession of my best pal’s brother. So if I ever do come to my senses, I can find it.
