Lent

If I gave up writing on my blog for lent, it would be too easy. So I decided to be a little harder on myself this season and give up a big one. Alcohol. Beer, Wine, Whisky, Scotch, Vodka, Rum, and all the other good drinks that like. Before last Wednesday, nary a day went by without me having at least one drink. Now... no drinks till Easters.

I want one now.

I moving to Pasadena this week. Do you know what's essential for moving? Beer.

42 days till I can drink.

In other news....

My mechanic is retiring. This is a big deal to me. Art taught me so much about my car and how to fix it myself. He taught me the ins and out of my cars cooling system so that if I ever had a problem with it, most likely I could fix it myself. No mechanic does that today. Did I mention he is the most honest man I ever met? My mom and I went to his retirement cookout yesterday. I gave Art a big hug and he teared up a bit. I teared up a bit. He's going back to Alabama to fish and raise hogs.

Dan said...

yes. that truly is wonderful... though tearful and sad, these moments are to be celebrated... though apparently not celebrated with an alcoholic beverage. nicely done. may it be a positive experience for you.

I was going to say that you should come to Big Bear, but on second thought a trip like that would be a bit more enjoyable 40 days from now, if you know what I mean. Nonetheless, it should happen.
