Every Mexican innately knows how to make a Margarita. (See my recipe above.)

I'm clueless
but then, I don't drink.

How do you stay hydrated?

Oh. You mean alcohol. You don't drink ALCOHOL.
Now I get it.

I usually have at least a semi-stocked bar. It lasts for a while, but I like to have things covered. At the moment, I'm out of vodka and bourbon. Oh, and my sleepover with my sisters the other night ate up my stash of tequila.

I grew up around alcohol. It was never a big deal to us. My parents had a glass of wine for dinner every night. On special occasions, we'd break out the better wine and have more of it, but it never got out of control. I know I'm lucky in a lot of respects - no history of alcoholism in my family (that I know of, anyway), no propensity towards addictive behavior in myself (other than Leaderboard! ), and parents that provided a good example of drinking sensibly in moderation.

There are always exceptions. Next time you see some tequila... touch the bottle and see what memories come up ... :<)

My dad was an alcoholic, though not a typical one. He never missed a day of work, never stayed out at bars instead of coming home, never got violent or angry. He just came home, poured a drink--half scotch, half water--went and made dinner, then refreshed the drink the rest of the evening with scotch, skip the water, until he went to bed moments before he actually passed out.
His dad was also an alchoholic; it's likely what killed him. He was a sanitation worker in NYC; officially, he died when he fell off the back of a sanitation truck. But it's quite likely he was not exactly sober when this accident occurred.

Two of my three brothers are also alcoholics. The other brother, and my sister don't drink at all.

I definitely have addictive tendencies, but have been fortunate that I've never succumbed to those tendencies with alcohol or drugs.

No, you, Lenny and Gary have to get us there. And Charlie, if he ever shows up tonight. I was just holding down the fort until reinforcements got here.

Time for the commute home...

Well, I might as well tell you good night now, because if I recall, your commute is long enough that there is little chance I'll still be going when you get home. So, good night. "See" you tomorrow.

I'm too tired.
I fell asleep earlier, just woke up
and I have about 11 soccer pictures to process for the kiddies this weekend as part of their rewards. I just got the medals for them
