Had an unexpected encounter yesterday with someone I’d wronged in the past, and got the chance to offer my sincere apologies. She was so gracious. She thanked me and told me she didn’t really blame me, she knew someone else had influenced me in an unscrupulous way.
It felt great to get that weight off my conscience. I don’t want to get into details (it wasn’t one of my better life choices). But I did want to mark the event.

Wow. Susie, a rare case of Mercury in retrograde being a force for good!
Getting something out of your conscience must feel like losing 20 pounds. It’s been so long since I had the opportunity, my conscience feels kinda obese.
Anyway, good on you.
Susie, your name is Earl.
Congratulations.
