I have friends that enjoy my company, who make me feel good about myself, who invite me out and are glad to include me in everything. Before this I was limited to shopping excursions or church functions, which I had to attend under insufferable pretenses. Now I enjoy a much wider participation in society. I go out to lunch, work out several times a week at an awesome health club and even go drinking and dancing at fashionable night spots.
All this comes at a price. Since I do my socializing in Spencerville all that drinking, dancing and exercising (such sinful excesses!) haven’t yet come to light. If they had that would really set the cat among the pigeons.
Palmyra is up in arms merely over my changed appearance and finally admitted atheism. I am thoroughly snubbed at market and around
