One more classical journey tonight.
I heard about your situation. My cervical problem heated up, and I'm using some heavy stuff to calm it down. It's the first time in 6 years I've had a significant attack, so that's one piece of good news.
Dear Friends,
As we progress through the Yuletide season, I would like to share an experience with you all, about drinking and driving.
A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends and had too many beers and sips of a rather nice bourbon. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before - I took a bus home.
I arrived at the house safely and without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a bus before and I am not sure where I got this one.
Happy New Year…be safe!
LOL !!!
