Actually, I knew what you meant. For me, it’s both the game and the men. I love sports and am fairly athletic.I am also super competitive!

You don’t really believe that I’ve never had a hangover, do you?

Do Irish people get hangovers?

Thanks, Ace! One thing I will do is visit my son-in-law’s grave at Arlington. He was killed in action , in Afghanistan, in 2010. Watched pro athletes exercise today. First Wimbledon, then soccer, and tonight basketball.

I love Pro Tennis! The women’s doubles was cool yesterday, especially since The team I favored won. Good match. I never doubted Novak would beat the very handsome, but inexperienced Italian guy.

Yes Elsa was not a big deal here the other day, either. When it came up the coast we were at the Jersey shore. We did have a nice thunderstorm, which J enjoyed. We don’t really have those in CA. Very rare, there. Enjoyed the Wimbledon men’s final! A threepeat for Novak Djokovic! I love to watch the men play…. Go figure!😂

I hope England beats Italy, as well, and I have an Italian last name, courtesy of my late husband.

Autocorrect strikes again? Hard partyers?

Got plenty of exercise yesterday. Walked to sites of interest in Washington, D.C. from our hotel. Probably walked about 4 miles total. Nice day. Today it’s on to the museums.

Seems there may be some hard partners in this group?

Interestingly, I used to party very hard in my youth. If you could smoke it, or swallow it, I was in. Marriage and children changed all that to occasional parting. For awhile, after my divorce in 1998, I was partying hard again, in every sense of the word: “wine, men and song”, and occasionally drugs, as well. It got out of hand, to the point where I joined a 12 step group. I got my act together and have not partied to excess since. I am so strong willed, that I can control my intake and just drink socially, and only occasionally. When I do, I have 2 or 3 drinks max. Since I quit smoking, I have avoided alcohol completely, just in case it would become a trigger. The one year challenge is interesting. I did read somewhere that people who don’t drink at all have shorter life spans than social drinkers. Something to think about….

Who really likes the taste of beer?

Hummus

Good info, though nothing I didn’t already know. I guess anything that reinforces my resolve to keep my quit is beneficial.

Interesting post. I have avoided alcohol since before I quit smoking. I never drink much, but don’t like it, if my senses are altered, even a little bit. I think I need to be in control. Not sure that’s a good thing.

Wow! That’s a serious heat wave. Glad you were able to cool off. I love central AC!

Why would anyone drink non- alcoholic beer?

Thanks, everyone. I still think about lighting up sometimes, but ignore the temptation.
