When we spent most of our time in Orlando I had almost weekly opportunities to over-imbibe with either my chirren and/or their friends.
Almost every Tuesday was $5 pitcher of Margaritas at a local Mexican chain where I would attempt to embarrass Bethany to her work friends. Wasn't able to get under her skin but Faithful Wife was mortified when I started drinking out of the pitcher. (Everyone was done. The party was essentially over but I didn't want to commit an alcohol foul by leaving perfectly good Margarita on the table).
My daughter, SIL, & their friends drink every night so lots of opportunities there.
You can get soused almost anywhere and Uber home for a little over $20.
But here in the hinterlands I am bereft of a drinking buddy and I find I don't drink by myself. Any of you wanna retire down South? Pretty cheap living. Lots of trailer parks.

We ponder that daily all winter long. |

You know, we've all got computers, we could set up one of those group video chat things on Facebook or something. Every Thursday evening, for example, we could log in and start drinking as a group. There are programs that would put each one of us into a group montage sort of thing. I bet Dub could even figure out a way to put each one of around a nice big table. And if he can't, I'm sure Todd could.

Course I would probably get motion sickness and puke all over the virtual table. |

We could get those VR goggles. What about those of us who don't live in Vermont? what? |

It’s simple
Video/audio conference.
It’s OK but it’s kind of boring.
I like it better with genuine conversations
- people with eyes and facial - it’s very reality

I’m up for drinking, in moderation. Otherwise, I’m going to bed by 7pm. Then I’m up at two or three. And there is nothing to do at two or three am. There isn’t even a daily.

Sounds perfect, Alan. I have often thought of going the poor white trash route, and finding a trailer park to dribble out my days.  |

Waitwaitwaitaminutehere...
I would SO be into the idea of harnessing vid tech for this;
A: a favorite beverage at hand
B: a video conference
C: a tune to share
There is not a person here that I wouldn’t share a drink with. Fact.
The internet has come a long way since AG/TTT, may as well harness it. Who’s in for some Friday eve, say, 7 or 8-ish mountain time?
I’ll drink a beer and play a tune for y’all. No promises on the second, ABV of the beer depending.

My concern is that a video might be recorded (and used against me) when I remake and sell my personal renditions of Celine Dion's vocal hits.
