Louetta's Lore

[quote=Tatnic;74670]

I'm as responsible and as in control and on top of my situation as anyone could be under any circumstances. I learned along time ago to appreciate my parameters and I very seldom stray outside of them. It's the end of the day and I'm just finishing up my paperwork while checking out the stock markets. Besides being the construction manager I own the company so I've created a safe and comfortable situation for myself. Believe me my occassional smoke and drink are nowhere near where it may sound. I am in full control of my facilities and my surrounding environment. Gato is in my top five favorite musicians. I'm glad that you're familiar with him and his music. I've always been drawn to his style of Latino jazz.


Well, that's a different story certainly.



In case you're wondering, giving up drinking isn't as hard as one thinks. Here's what you do: Drink 3 or 4 beers before dinner, then eat a bunch of beets with dinner along with a few glasses of wine, followed by some brandy for dessert. The next day your shit will be red and you'll be hung over and worried to death about stomach cancer and/or liver disease. YOu won't miss drinking after that...I'm speaking from experience and I have zero desire to drink any more...I was amazed at how easy it was to quit.

Kinda off topic musically, but I heard a Philip Glass violin concerto the other day that absolutely blew me away, and it takes alot to impress me musically. By some violinist named McDuffy, I believe with the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra.

Well I'm not looking to drink anymore or less than I am right now at this stage of the game. Are you saying that you don't drink at all anymore. I'm doing everything that I ever did but in moderation. I guess that when they're carrying me out in a box that will be the signal that I've stopped.

Brilliant Tatnic. What more could a young woman ask for?

Ski...If you were not drinking so much you would've noticed that I wrote that...not Tatnic

Well in that case what family doesn't have it's ups and downs.

I think you kind of improve your skiing by skiing, something I never did much of. Partly was the conflict with swimming season and we had kind of a moral responsibility not to do anything we might get hurt at and lose the season. My brothers ski but they go with girls now. I think it has to do with the apres ski stuff more than the skiing.

Nothing beats getting away for a long weekend of skiing. Skiing all day and doing the apres ski stuff all night for two or three days. It's the drive home that hurts.

I wouldn't figure I'd have to drive. I will be driving to Hanover (Dartmouth) on or about Jan. 4-5. Might be a chance to get in some skiing that weekend and I can flop at the college.

Of course you'd have to drive...with all the drunks around here you'd be the "Designated Driver"

I don't own a car. And a lot of guys want to drive. Its kind of a control thing.

I've never skied either but years ago my wife and I drove up into the Canadian Rockies and Banff National Park. Spectacular country is an understatement. We've always wanted to take that train trip across the Canadian Rockies into British Colombia. Sounds like a great trip and some of the best skiing in the world. Greb, your in Syracuse. We should hook up in Vermont some weekend. Maybe Stratton or Killington. That wouldn't be to far a drive for you would it? It's about a 6.5 hr. drive from where I live in New Jersey. We could get a group together some weekend after the first of the year.

Suicide 6. Night night.

Suicide 6. Night night.

How far would that be for you to drive from where you live Lou? I drive 3.5/4 hrs. almost every Wed. or Thurs. to either Windham or Hunter, NY for a day trip. We usually leave at 4:30 am an are there by 8:30 am. Ski all day from 9 am to 4 pm and have something to eat and a few drinks and leave by 6 pm and are home by 10 pm. Long day but worth it if you're into skiing.

Apparently you don't know the right guys...I love when the woman drives...Of course, I like to live dangerously...LOL

Doug what did Lou mean by suicide 6? Is that when she falls asleep at the wheel. On my day trips I usually do all the driving. It can get hair raising especially once you get into the mountains and on alot of the days we go it is snowing pretty hard up there. It definitely helps if you have some type of a 4 wheel drive vehicle.
