I fully recognize that each of us have different experiences both personally and culturally. Someone who's never been around the downside of alcohol and/or drug abuse can look at a photograph of an elder gentleman sipping whiskey at a nice bar at 1:00 in the afternoon and recall pleasant memories. Others, like myself, recall memories of a very different sort; may even be reminded of unpleasant current events in their lives. As we age our metabolism slows down. Our balance and reaction times are also affected by the aging process; I feel a little bit of sadness around these realities. Adding a 3 or 4 shot lunch to the picture only adds to those feelings. YMMV. Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
