The Value of a Drink
"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drinkI feel shame. Then I look into the glass and thinkabout the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopesand dreams . If I didn't drink this wine, they might be outof work and their dreams would be shattered.
Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let theirdreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."~ Jack Handy

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they'regoing to feel all day. "~Frank Sinatra

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin,of Cheers.
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Irene,
You are a drinking gal's muse.
Fasten your seat belt.
I am considering opening a southern version of Anger Management.....
The Alexandria neighborhood where I live and teach is called Del Ray.... So, it would be called:
Del Ray Anger Management or, DRAM for short or, as I would prefer, a DRAM of TulleymoreDew.
OR
I MIGHT settle for a more regional slant for the greater DC area: Southern Capital Regional Anger Management or SCRAM.
oh, the possibilities.
Ruthie,
Think of something with an A and you could be the DRAMA Queens.
ASSOCIATION!!!!!
DEL RAY ANGER MANAGEMENT
ASSOCIATES
ASSEMBLY
ASTRONAUTS
AVENGERS
I'LL KEEP IT COMING.
DAMN, as soon as I sent the last message it dawned on me......
ANONYMOUS
Ruthie,
OMG, perfect.
On a sad note, Tonight I, again, represented the DC contingent(hopefully not a trend) at McCabe's and paid my respects to T. Ford. My God, too bad he missed it. They actually had to close Walnut and Elmer streets. He would have been thrilled. THe line of fireman went up the street.
As mom was fond of saying: "There's nothing like a good night at McCabes." (Or Zalewski's, or Murray's for that matter)
