I started drinking for real when I was seventeen and have imbibed for well in excess of forty years. I have been hangover drunk. maybe, four of five times in that stretch. I am a practicing Catholic but never thought one had any to do with the other. I'll start paying attention fer the rest of my time.

Now, when God kicked Adam and Eve from the Garden, he could have been merciless. He wasn't. He said they could take some juniper trees with them. Thus, we can have gin. This provides a glimpse of what we have to anticipate if we live good lives. It says right here Heaven is teeming with juniper trees.

There isn't any refreshment in this world better than a well made martini, well, a Gibson gets close, and mine are as good as any and better than most. I understand in Heaven you can drink for enjoyment, and much as you like, and you never get past happy. Oh, and in Heaven there are no hangovers. I guarantee it.

Gotta love juniper trees.

On a hot, muggy day....there is nothing better than a perfectly chilled gimlet..with Rose's Lime Juice, of course..

WADR, living good lives is not enough. Salvation is freely given, but must be accepted.
