It’s time to Shake and Stir your own martini.

Bought my son in law and I a martini each at a Cheesecake Factory and shocked to find out they were 18 each.

I’ll drink at home.

Bars buy some bath tub gin and cheap vermouth and charge an arm and a leg.

I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
Now every morning just before breakfast
I don’t want no coffee or tea
Just me and my good buddy Weiser
That’s all I ever need
‘Cause I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
Yeah, the other night I laid sleeping
And I woke from a terrible dream
So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel’s
And his partner Jimmy Beam
And we drank alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
Yeah, the other day I got invited to a party
But I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker
And his brothers Black and Red
And we drank alone, yeah
With nobody else

I predict that cooking at home and hosting dinner parties will become a big(ger) hobby as restaurants become unaffordable. Folks will leave gratuities that help to cover the host’s costs so everyone can enjoy dinners out at one another’s homes...and grand dinners in their own homes.

Scorpions always try to eat my toes when I do that, so I run away and have to take an Uber back to the house that costs like $75 and I always lose my pants.

That’s why I trip balls in a hermetically sealed sweat teepee.

I’m always thinking…

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Seeking status is a fool’s errand. It’s meaningless and impresses no one. It just makes the fool think he’s better than everyone else and that they are jealous of him.

I’m not old enough to actually trip on my balls yet, though I’ve sat on them.

If the teepee is hermetically sealed, you may be experiencing oxygen deprivation that could enhance the experience.

Crap. Squirrels are planning a coup. They think I can’t understand them, stupid animals. Brb
