Ok, here it is in writing: I'm giving up booze for 2004. I did this with pot in 1998 and that was pretty easy—this should be more difficult unless I become even more of a hermit than I am now. I figure this gives me two months and change to develop an exoskeleton before my dry year starts.
Why? Because I should. Because I've been overdoing it lately. Because I could stand to lose a few pounds, and that's a convenient pile of carbs to sweep out. Because hangovers suck. To see if I can. To get my energy back into whack.
Why not start now? Because I'm going to Scotland in a couple of days. Because I'm going to Venezuela with that little black box in December. Because there's a beautiful ripe lime on my little tree upstairs.
