Pre-Thanksgiving Festivities

In the spirit of the upcoming holiday I thought that I would bring up a holiday revered by young people everywhere...  The night before Thanksgiving drunkfest!!!  I have been asked by several people where I am going to get blitzed that night.  Alas, I made a promise that I intend to keep...  No more getting trashed on the night before Thanksgiving.

It only take 1 bad year to spoil the rest.  I showed up at my family dinner in a haze, smelling like the Captain was still knee deep in me & sick as a dog as soon as I got any food down.  Now there aren't a lot of young children, but I do have a sister who is 20 years younger than I am & I was not setting the standard of things to come very high that year.  So I promised that I would not show up in any stupor like I had in previous years.  I can tell you this, I have had drinks the night before, but wasn't lacquered.  I did enjoy the flavors more than I had since turning 21.  I also became a helpful part of the family by bringing desserts & appetizers.

Do I miss the festivities??? No.  But I am happy that I endured 1 too many to appreciate having just enough.
