The Drink Not Taken
What Good's A Pirate Without Any Rum??
I've been excavating my home office this week, trying to gain some headway on the incessant creep of stuff that threatens to turn me from a casual collector of odd items into one of those hoarders you see on the reality TV.
One of the boxes unearthed was the case of Maker's Mark I bought back in February of 2013, when the distillers threatened to cut the proof from 90 to 84.
Out of a dozen bottles, there's still 7 remaining, plus the one I got as an Xmas gift from Festus, and a partial that's been on the nightstand for months & months.
Let's face it... I just don't drink like I used to. I can't even remember the last time I've had a beer.
I don't know if it's an unconscious attempt to live healthier, or what. God knows I don't restrict my diet in other ways...
I dunno. Maybe the thrill is gone. I still like the idea of quaffing a few drinks, but the thought of getting intoxicated is just a non-starter.
Damn, I'm getting boring in my old age.
