I'm trying to quit for a while. 2 days in!

Not today, but a few days ago.

I switched. Gave up the vodka for bourbon.

Was time for a change.

On a bus, a priest sat next to a drunk who was struggling to read the newspaper.

Suddenly, with a slurred voice, the drunk asked the priest:

"Do you know what arthritis is?"

The parish priest soon thought of taking the opportunity to lecture the drunk and replied:

"It's a disease caused by sinful and unruly life: excess consumption of alcohol, drugs, marijuana, crack, and certainly lost women, prostitutes, promiscuity, sex, binges and other things I dare not say."

The drunk widened his eyes, shut up and continued reading the newspaper.

A little later the priest, thinking that he had been too hard on the drunk, tried to soften:

"How long have you had arthritis?"

"I don't have arthritis! It says here in the paper that the Pope has it."

Anyone ever add a splash of beet juice to a cocktail? I make a Brown Derby (bourbon, grapefruit juice, bitters, simple syrup, lemon juice). Adding beet juice is a game changer.

Good morning

morning

Good morning all. It's hard to type with a dog and computer both on my lap.   

I said I was going to get a real job again.

Just submitted my first application of the new year.  Gig is for Cultural Facilities & Events Director – Art Park.  This is with the art district organization in my neighborhood.

A Gibson is a Martini with a cocktail onion instead of an olive.

You lost me at gin.
