Booze & Pops

October 15, 2009

Some of you have worried about my consumption of booze over the years.

a friend put me on to the AA internet Test for Alcoholism site.

you will be surprised to know that I flunked. Damn! I do not qualify, and some of the nicest people I've ever known were alcoholics. In fact my mother, Granny Cado was a highly qualified alcoholic. She didn't drink a lot. she just sipped on a glass of bourbon and water from about 2 in the afternoon until cocktail time when she would have one of Pop's excellent Martinis. Then a little carefully selected wine with dinner. and finally a couple of additional bourbon and waters just to make her sleep better.

And sleep she could! I returned from Korea and unexpectedly arrived at the front door at about 1:00AM. I knocked on the door. I thumped the door knocker loudly. banged and banged. threw rocks at their windows, yelled and called out.
I'm sure everybody in the neighborhood new that Ennalls is home. but not the parents. Just as I was about to curlup on the front steps, the door opened and there stood my parents! ."So you're home." said Pop quietly, shook hands and went back upstairs. Mom sobbed a few times and trundled off after him.

So much for my surprise reunion.

Now, they would have passed AA's dinky little test with flying colors, but I just couldn't hack it!

Try it! I want to know whether you can uphold long standing family tradition or whether you're going to wimp out like your pathetic Father!
