So I am sitting here at home, all day. Yesterday at work I decided to have a couple of 22 oz beers with Pete when he stopped by and hung out at Knickerbockers. He only had one beer when I ordered a second and one of my customers who I have taught what little I know about single malt scotches bought me 2 fingers of Glen Rothes Reserve 10. So in the matter of 3 hours I had 44 oz of beer and 2 fingers of Scotch.
This is where I had to make the tough decision. Did I feel drunk? No. Was my vision blurred? No. I felt fine, however I weighed the possibilities that something could happen should I get behind the wheel of a car. I decided to make the right decision and leave my car at work in the parking garage. At worse leaving it there could get it towed or ticketed, none the less the repercussions for driving while intoxicated are far greater than any parking ticket or towing bill.
My point, sometimes it’s not fun to make the right decisions, however I’m glad I decided to hitch a ride with Pete rather than drive home because I might not writing this blog right now if I had decided to drive and got arrested or hurt.
Sorry, no funny blogs for the week or angry. Nothing funny has happened and nothing to make me angry has happened.

DUI’s in this state are expensive. Driving while drunk is worse than throwing a loaded gun into a playground.

No problemo, any time. We almost didn’t make it home on time because Darrell just finished telling me about a Cuban Restaurant and I was ready to stop off for a second dinner (and third cigar).
Ten Stars! Thank you for making the right choice. And thank you to Pete (if he’s on here) for driving you home.
