He and his wife want to set about making a baby (this is a recent confidence he's told me, which I am now telling the internet), and it might be that, as much as anything, that pushed him into this. He'd be the first in 3 generations to raise a child while sober. It would be a mighty thing, and I am dead serious when I say that.
I'll note that Getting Sober (For Real This Time) and Having That Baby were not unrelated events in Tom Waits' life. In fact, he had bottomed out and fucked up his marriage and had to swim seriously upstream to sort it out.
Tell him: Bone Machine is fighting for sobriety. ("The Earth Died Screaming")
Mule Variations is being there. ("Come Up To the House")
And yeah, there's a reason why there are seven years between those two albums.
We get to be at the hosptial at 5:30 AM Friday morning for the angiogram Yay. But we found a theatre that's playing John Carter to go to the night before--Hubby's been wanting to see it, and I think it's worth a dollar.
If this goes like his previous few angiograms, we may be out for lunch.
and I think it's worth a dollar.
It's definitely worth a dollar.

I think that'll help him. Seriously. Thank you.
Steph, I don't know what to say, except that I am thinking of you and your brother and his wife, and glad that he is being taken care of.
Oh, Connie. Sheesh. ~ma for your DH and for you.
I enjoyed John Carter more than a dollar's worth, definitely, but lots of that was just the sheer fact of staring at Taylor Kitsch for 90 minutes.
Ice cream and strawberries: omnis, good to have greetings from Shir! I assume she is busy kicking ass and making the world a better place, as usual?
It's so wild that he made the decision so recently and is already getting treatment! Very glad (and relieved) for all of you, Tep.
Wow Steph. I'm seriously glad it is working out.
Connie, 'ma to you and your hubby tomorrow.
I'm so impressed with your bro for wanting to get his shit together before he has kids. That's mighty, as you say.
Also, I realize I live under a rock, but there's really a celebrity out there named Taylor Kitsch?
I am so happy to hear that Teppy's brother has gotten the medical care he needs. I do not envy him hoeing of the row he has in front of him, but I'm glad he's got gardening implements to do it with now instead of broken twigs.
Heart~ma for your DH, Connie. And restful wishes to you.
Sparky, I hope your daughter gets better quickly and you stave off the ick yourself. Still sending out the vibes for your errant canine.
