A funny story...and, I'm such a lightweight...

First, the funny story...
I was loading my laptop into my Explorer to head off to work yesterday. I was immediately hit with the strong odor of alcohol. Ah geez! I left the bottle of Woodford Reserve that Lena and Dave gave to me in the car. It was 102 outside the other day and Woodford has a cork and the bottle was at a 45-degree angle and... One-fourth of the bottle spilled all over my notebook and several of my technical books (I had to throw one away...). I gathered up the books and the bourbon and went into the garage (Lisa was feeding the kids so I didn't want to go back in the house). I laid the books out and decided to put the bourbon in the garage cabinet until I got home from work.

I opened the cabinet and was reaching up with the 3/4 full bottle in hand when the garage door opened and Lisa was standing right there. Well... this looks incriminating I thought. "What the heck are you doing?" Lisa asked. I explained and (luckily) the bourbon-soaked books corroborated my story..... BTW. The car still reeks of bourbon.

I'm such a lightweight...
...not that that's a bad thing. Tony came by after we put the kids to bed. We went to a local pub to play some pool and have a couple of beers. Dave caught up with us and we stayed until about 11:00. We only had a few beers and a shot of Patron - thanks to Dave. However, on the way home I was feeling pretty tipsy. I woke up this morning with a nasty hangover that lasted all day. Did I mention that the car still reeks of bourbon? Yeah...not good....
