Last night was the Squad’s annual awards banquet. It was a BYOB event so I brought wine. I had poured part of a large bottle into a smaller insulated bottle. It was a container I’ve often used. It is equal to a couple of glasses, the amount I used to drink. I still enjoy my wine but rarely more than one glass. By the end of the evening I’d drained the bottle. I didn’t notice any reaction and felt comfortable driving cautiously home. I didn’t sleep well and woke up with a headache which still hasn’t gone away. I think it was caused by the wine. Never again!!

Maybe it’s just because I’m getting really old, but Matthew McConaughey to me is the sexiest actor around. I don’t usually swoon over actors but he does it for me. I haven’t felt this way for a star since Bert Reynolds.

Tatoos and piercings are in. Rap music is a hit with this generation. Sushi is popular. Swearing, especially the four letter word is used by everyone.

Thongs and g-strings would hurt. Removal of hair from my private parts would be uncomfortable. A man with no chest hair just isn’t natural.

Believe me I wouldn’t fit in.

I’d drive on the expressway back and forth to work and traffic never bothered me.

I blame my fear on a close call on I-75 but I think it was already there.

John was an excellent driver and with him behind the wheel I was comfortable. I wouldn’t drive his truck but when he drove, it didn’t bother me.

Actually, it now seems I’ve gotten smarter. (100+ mph was crazy!!)
