You know Jim I will probably wuss out as usual...I have too much trouble with my concience to begin with and if something happens I will think I caused it with a glass of wine or couple of beers over the holidays. I would just have to beat myself up. Wow starting to feel a lot of restriction like I did in my rebelleous teen age years...Can't do this can't have that...grrrrr...Only now I am old and know better...but this sucks...A whole new normal...no drinking no smoking what else can be taken away ...BUT WE ARE STILL ALIVE to complain about it!!!! not that all that stuff is so good for you anyway but they say breathing can be harmful to your health too!!! Happy Holidays ....
