Rough night last evening [View all]

Some old friends are in town and they're spending a couple nights with us. Last night they and my wife were really hooking into the booze and it drove me crazy. I managed not to drink, but it sure brought back memories of getting drunk together. I ended up heading upstairs to my lair about 10 to watch a movie and treat myself to a bowl of ice cream. Yikes! One more evening and I'll be out of the woods!
