The ol' guy and I have been sober a long time. At least 15 yrs. I never did keep track but have an idea when.

He quit out of respect for me, who comes from a long line of drunken ijits. I'm not a nasty drunk but my impulse control is zero when I drink. I was the type who immediately wanted to grab the car keys and go a-visitin'. Wrecked a Cordoba, a jeep, a cavalier and a civic.

Never got hurt and never hurt anyone, just some poles, ditches and trees. It's a good thing we live rural..

Anyways. I'm rambling...point is we are in the same camp as you. As soon as certain folks meet their demise via a short Nuremberg type rope or head to the gulag we will be getting smashed. ๐Ÿคฃ

Then back on the wagon I go ๐Ÿ˜‰

Another fun rant, Mike. Always a pleasure to read.

Like you, I take the occasional break from drinking. Does the body good. I also use Mac. I have two MacBook Pros, but they're so old, I wouldn't dream of using them online. They are for video editing and other fun projects. Your reference to the 'Willard' movie brought me back. I loved that movie when I saw it first (in the theatre). Would love to find it on DVD. I recently watched 'Return of the Dragon' on VHS. That was a blast from the past.

Thanks. Keep writing!

Ha!!! First time seeing Frank Sinatra singing with the Fifth Dimension. Brought back good memories of their music. Canโ€™t say Iโ€™ll join your โ€œpauseโ€ but Iโ€™ll be rooting for you!!!
