Friday Night No-Drinking Post. [View all]

To my beloved Loungers: I’ve been sick all week, and am feeling a little better. But I’m staying away from alcohol until I feel 100% again.

Don’t let that stop you, and as Joe Biden would say “God love you”. Have a strong one for me, because right now, I’m feeling a little weak and fatigued.

I’ll reply if I can. Otherwise, talk amongst yourselves.

I love you all…
