I'd give anything if I could muster up 4 inches and half a dozen wrinkles.

I have had a lot of rain, but I'm keeping it. I hope you get your snow! About wrinkles, are you still so youthful you get asked for ID when you are buying alcohol? I have plenty of wrinkles that I can't get rid of...I think they are permanently attached. I guess I can't help you with either.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart. No not that one. Last Christmas I got asked for ID in a bar. I thought she was joking, I'm nearly 60 and look 70. She got her boss to come over because I had no ID on me. She said OK but only one drink. If you ever need proof this world is fucked up, well here it is.

I haven't been carded since I was 37. That time I was buying beer for husband, had my 11 year old daughter with me and was in a grocery store I shop at all the time. I threw my head back and laughed. It was the only response I could possibly have. Some underage kids must have really good special effects make up to go with their fake IDs for you to be getting carded, donavan!

I think in most places businesses are trying to avoid legal repercussions. I have to show ID when I buy alcohol at Kroger (there is a bar code on Ohio driver's licenses that can be scanned), so for the most part it is a CYA scenario. Plus, I am sure these places don't want to hear bitching about, "Well, why are you checking my ID and not his?" while pointing at an octogenarian.

My drivers license is next to my Medicare card. And I don't look that young.

The 4 inches grew to about a foot. (insert joke here.) We are snowed in for a few days, and fortunately have no place we need to go.

And here I was complaining about the temperature dipping back into the thirties before promptly shooting back up to sixty.

My annual New Year's Eve celebration--drinking lots of beer and watching a Thin Man marathon on TCM. To paraphrase a Benny Hill joke, I live life with a big L, and sometimes suffer pain with a big P.

I see your beer with a traditional colonial era New England ale flip, complete with a red hot wrought iron loggerhead. 3 tbsp maple syrup 1 vanilla Porter beer 3 oz Martinique rhum 2 eggs Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg 1 red hot from the fire loggerhead
+ Knights In White Satin playing in the background because, why not?
