Now, that could be the biggest compliment I've received in a long long while, or the largest insult.
Naturally, I took it as the former no matter which way she meant it.
...and either way, it made me laugh.
Anymore, Becky drinks as much as I do. Maybe less. However, there were the days a beer in hand was almost a prerequisite for socialization. Though this is true with almost anyone I knew or with whom I hung out.
I might have been the lowest common denominator.
Still, I knew what I think she meant. Some of our most fun, or trying, times centered around sitting, drinking, talking and laughing.
Sometimes we stood.
I immediately flashed on the time that she, Morty and I were in Houston drinking Sally Hansen and Pepsi's.
Now that I "say" that aloud, I'm not sure what we were drinking. I can't imagine it was rum and cokes, but it was an early early happy hour and if the price had been right they just may have been. I just remember whatever we were drinking smelled like nail polish remover - hence the name.
In our youth, we mostly all stuck to beer - as it was in our budget. It was our budget. Well......mine. As you can see back in 1989 (?) I could only afford Black Label. What I lagged behind in quality I more than made it up by quantity.
Usually it is wine for me anymore. If I'm with Morty, there is just a LOT of it. But I haven't had that since December 2025. ...and only two beers in 2026.
Of course, I cannot rule out the possibility that her looking at this mug alcohol free makes her want to drink. She wouldn't be the first to think it.........say it................or do it.
She won't be the last.
