I can't dismiss it as a possible link to my OC.
Re the drinking, all of my docs at Moffitt think moderation is fine. I maybe have a beer or 2 a month now. Maybe I'll have a couple tonight with Jerry and his son. He doesn't know it yet but I plan on trying to drag his butt to our Waterfront District after dinner tonight.
