    Good !
    It's like being pregnant.
    Either you're pregnant or you're not.

    It worked that way for me.

    Go for it! First step is identifying that you want to make a change, and it sounds like you've already done that.

    Congrats Drew. ;)

    I'm sure it hasn't been easy with that Covid scare the past couple of years.

    Think of the money you've been able to spend elsewhere.

    I liked the first two songs. I thought maybe you had left the D&B. Psych...you still love your style of music I see. But I think the last three did seem a little subdued compared to years ago. B)

    How's your car doing?

    Thanks Tony! Car is good. I just changed the oil on it after 4,500 miles and 1+ year. It's got just over 25k now:

    Cross posting and sharing this from my car forum because I liked this post:

    My favourite present sobriety gives me, over these holidays, is the chance to drive through a road check without crapping my drawers.

    I know what you mean.

    I quit drinking 34 years ago. About 10 years ago I'd have 1 to 3 beers at my wife's company Christmas Parties. She drove.

    Well one day after work I loaded a ton of steel into the back of my truck and it was sagging bigtime. That day, I drank a beer ( or Two ) with the gang and then left. Murphy's law strikes! As soon as I got on the road, a cop gets behind me. I thougt for sure since my truck was pointing up toward the sky, he'd pull me to ask wth I had so much weight in it for.

    But he didn't. :D It was only about 2 miles but I was sweatin big time! One day in 24 years I have one or two beers in about an hour and a cop gets right on my ****.

    I must have said to myself a few times, God, is that you telling me to knock it off?

    Considering the topic, I hate to say this cracked me up, but for those of us who have needed to lay off the booze, this is so true.

    As a guy who had the "ride", it's no fun.
    Neither is picking broken glass from the windshield out of
    your scalp. Had enough drinking by 23 to last
    me a lifetime. Happy to be done with it.

    Keep up the good work. It's worth it in the long run.
