I was told never to drink again...I was a social drinker and I miss it, I will miss having a glass of wine with my GF...a lot. I will miss having that cold beer after working in the hot hot sun. I will miss it. I have and always will eat tons of avocado's.

Years ago, my friend Dale, took his buddy to an "AA" meeting. Dale was sitting in the back and he popped a can...yes...Dale popped a can of beer! The circle of people looked at him and the counselor said, "Excuse me sir! You can't do that here.." Dale replied, "Why not...I'm not the one with the problem. I like to drink."

Dale, my friend, died last year at the age of 61. His first can of beer was opened every morning at 10.

Cheers...
