Sloshed: How to Drink Before Noon

We had a bachelor party weekend for a frat brother in 2005. They started drinking at noon. I have not had anything to drink before 2PM since 1987. It took me a long time to warm up to that. But I managed. The key is a low alcohol beer like MSG 64.
I made the bourbon drinkers watch a movie after dark. That kept them out of trouble.
I gave up liquor which makes drinking a lot easier.

"I drink champagne when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise, I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty."

Thanks

Just visited your home page ... Col Grossman’s book is on my desk as I type (favorite Christmas present from my EX) and I need to pick up and re-read “The Haj”

Looked at your list of Countries and % muslim... I’ve been to more than 40 Countries and from a “Liberty” (off duty for those of the civilian persuasion) point of view, the lower the muslim percentage, the better the Liberty was...

Now back to my booze

It’s weird to see when most of mankind is driving to work but they are on completely different schedules.

Call Me one of them(cop). I occasionally take the A.M. phone call from one of my siblings and they ask "what'cha doin?". to which I sometimes wil say "watchin' TV, drinking a beer", to which I'll get the obligatory "what at 8 in the morning?!" To which I inevitably will reply "It's 8 in the morning to you, it's 8 in the evening to ME. And then the conversation will go on naturally. I'd kinda hoped after nearly 20 years of this I wouldn't have to keep saying this, but My sibs haven't seemed to figure it out yet.

Whatever else is Sunday brunch for?

Ever tried Yukon Jack?

Never have. My favorite now is Bushmill's Irish whiskey. I fell in love with it when I travelled to Ireland. The new Honey Bushmill's is awesome. Soooo smooth.

Pretty good. And you?

I am doing fantastic!

I just had shoulder surgery(rotator cuff) from taking care of Stella before she passed.

Been almost six weeks and I’m on the mend(slower than molasses in January) and will be doing pretty good in a few months.

They say it takes about 6 months total but, I’ve heard some take a year. I ain’t waiting no year and I guarantee I’ll be done by February.

Long about the 1st of the year I’m going to be taking road trips. I love to drive.

I’ll be zipping right past your neck of the woods on my to see friends in LA and Palm Springs.

On another I’ll be going through Utah to see more friends and then to Vail. Couple of friends live in Vail and the last time I was there I was with Stella and we really couldn’t do much as she had limitations but we still had fun.

The next trip will take me through your neck of the woods again or I’ll go through the Utah, Colorado route on my to Oklahoma to visit my Mom and Sister.

The therapy for this shoulder thing sucks but it was the only thing I wanted all year and I am absolutely dedicated to the process. The gals that tell me what to while they supervise me love seeing me because I won’t stop anything until they say. I just keep going and going.

They are pretty ladies too, so I have extra motivation. LOL

Hope all is well with you and maybe one day we’ll bump into each other.

Remember:
“It’s a great life if you don’t weaken”

“Don’t take life so seriously, you won’t live through it anyway”

Very good. Glad to hear you’re healing well. Enjoy your road trips !
