Anybody feel like having a drinking thread this evening? [View all]

I’m not sure I’m up for it. Drinking; yes. I’ve been doing more of that than usual the last few days. But Friday Night has almost always been about warmth, socializing, and relaxing at the end of the week.

I’m trying to muster some motivation, and it’s not happening. I’ve barely gotten out of my bathrobe.

Still, if anyone feels up for it, and would like a temporary escape from reality, let me know.

I love you all…
