I think about half of the people at any given meeting take tangential routes to somewhere...though I know not exactly where! Letting things out (tangents, or not) helps keep folks sober...that's how it works. You should hear this guy we call "Groovy Joe." He takes tangents all over the place & can talk for 10 minutes straight if you'll let him (he has a bit of brain damage he got in an accident when he was drinking & driving years ago)...but if I'm patient, I get a great message from him. He pisses a lot of people off, though...
