I'm very pleased and not-that-saddened to announce that sobriety is for people who aren't me. I don't think anyone can dispute that alcohol makes you feel like a man, especially when eating a quality meal. From lobster tacos to Count Chocula. Now pass the whiskey.

Patti and I have had great fun while I make up for lost time. We got drunk at a party this weekend where a guest told me that he saw my website. I had no idea which site he was referring to, but I told him thank you. Then he said, "You're really funny. Did you know that?" Yes, I do know, although I don't make it a practice to discuss such things with strangers, family, or even myself when drunk.
