Please excuse this email if you get it more than once. It is thrilling reading (despite that I wrote most of it), and you will be a healthier and happier person if you read it more than once. It's true. Really.
It's also the perfect thing to print out and take with you to the bar on Wednesday (St. Patricks Day) and read to whoever will listen to you.
Yours in good health,
Joseph Travers
HAIG Chair
p.s. all the coolest kids go to the HAIG CHAT. It's a fact.
