I could use a bloody mary right now in fact.<BR/><BR/>Fewer posts because of enhanced inhibitions? No, just busy at annoying meetings. Need to figure out how to post while listening to a brand presentation on health insurance sales channels.

Don't know how comfortable I'd be now if I were talking to you, glass of wine in hand!<BR/><BR/>In your case, it seems sobriety can lead to confessionals too . . . and perhaps the forced sobriety is a clue to why you haven't been posting as frequently. . . not sure what that says about your theory.Beechamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319508054995742965noreply@blogger.com
