Day 29 – Getting’ Our Drink On

How is this possible? How is it possible to have a hangover for two days straight? For those of you that came in late, to honor Memorial Day and to remember those that we have lost (family, friends and such), the crew decided to deplete a few reserves of our beer stores. So for the first time in a very long time, I got plastered. Not proud of it and this is why my blog entry is late today and probably going to be pretty short.
I am not against drinking or anything. I am the farthest thing from an alcoholic. The truth is I have the bladder of a woman than is nine months pregnant. If I drink one beer, I am pissing three. So it is not often that I tie one on. And CLEARLY the body of a man in his late thirties does not rebound nearly as quickly as that of an eighteen-year-old. But with the grills going and the sunshine and music and laughter… you could almost forget we were in the middle of the zombie apocalypse.
It was worth it. It was a good time for everyone. Thanks to Oklahoma’s rather stiff laws regarding alcohol, 3.2 beer is all we have. There is a liquor store next to the convenience store that we share a parking lot with but it is a pretty tough run to score some hooch. Still, there is enough booze over there to keep us all drunk until rapture. 
Ugg. My head hurts and I am in serious need of some Gatorade. Happy Memorial Day. More tomorrow…
