Thanks everyone. I didnt mean to come across as an attention seeker. I had a bit more to drink than usual last night along with some time alone to reflect on things. And that was the result.

I do appreciate the camaraderie here. We give each other a good ribbing but we've shown we're also there for each other.

Like I said earlier today plenty of people worse off than I right now.

And yeah that Eaglesmania is all sold out Flex. Im hoping I can score a quality boot of the performance. And a trip out Colorado way may be in order for this summer.

Have a hit of the Montpellier Tit with some black strap rum stirred in. Good stuff.

I move to Boston on March 1.

Pretty much sums it up for me...
Crazy thing is I used to swear I'd never be a craft beer drinker - it was too hipster...but then I actually started drinking them and realized beer could taste interesting...and now I struggle to down a Coors Light.

I'm in the same camp. I never cared much for beer—that cheap-ass big brewery lager shit. I ended up a rye drinker because beer did zilch for me. But slowly the beer market opened up and I discovered that I love stouts and amber ales. Wow, holy crap, beer can have an exciting flavour? What a fucking concept.

I always liked beer - but I grew up like most Wisconsin kids just drinking that big brewery lager...it was all Miller High Life and stuff like that and it to not drink it had a negative connotation around these parts. It was what your grandpa drank and your dad drank and to turn your back on it was to suddenly become a hipster and to turn your back on the lads...but as I got older I started getting curious and yeah - once you learn beer can have all sorts of different flavors - you just can't go back. Sure, on a hot summer day I'll still put away my share of big brewery crap - but any other time I'm going to try something different - I'm going to actually enjoy drinking it (versus just drinking to get drunk). The beer industry in Wisconsin had been so stale for so long - but over the past 20 years the craft industry has just exploded.

Bingo. I stopped drinking altogether around 2002 because (a) I only drank to get drunk and (b) it was no longer enjoyable (I've always been debilitated by hangovers). So I quit altogether for about five years until at my sister's for Thanksgiving and I was persuaded to have wine. I drink regularly now—I make my own wine—but I stop at a couple. Enough to be relaxed, but not drunk (I've overdone it maybe 4 or 5 times since). Maybe the most mature shift of my life.

I had a pint of prosecco which was left over from my wedding, as well as some gin. It fucked the entire next day. Also had some gin that was a gift from Kevin and his lady. And a few red stripes. I was as useful as a dying sloth. Reminded me of why the hell I cut back so much in the first place.

Pffft! If they were accurately reflecting their roots, that would be a Zinfandel...since most triple-decker condo conversions in Southie these days come with a wine chiller built in under the granite countertops.

I saw an abandoned hookah on the street in front of the police station in Southie today.

Forty Creek rye, if you can find it. Smooth as the carpet you pass out on.
