I’m Looking for a Hero
The sound of laughter ringing out from the dining room where some friends are having dinner together, a simple thing, but something that has been a long time coming back into my life, only because the barriers I put up to keep the pain out, also kept the joy out as well. Simple conversation and general chit-chat mixed with good feelings, comfortable surroundings and the odd vino or two made a Friday eve not just the end of yet another week, into something great and memorable.
With a Little Help from my Friends Others or Even Strangers

Divide the Town and the Year The most powerful solution I've found I'll share first. I've divided our city, Tampa, into 4 quadrants, N, S, E, and West. I've also divided my calendar up into quadrants, January, April, July, and October. Then I combine those two. Here are the rules: First: Invite 5 couples (or 10 people) from the north side of town.
