I should, right.

Life was enjoyable. Last few years not so much but I will never complain about having had a miserable life. Au contraire.

It is obvious I will need to get a fireplace at some point. Offspring and grandchildren as well, so I can tell them the amazing stories lived in those years.

You just can't do it justice of you aren't in front of a roaring fire. Lol.

I grew up in a family of nutters, drinking was as natural as breathing. It makes for an interesting life to a point, then... Yeek!

It becomes a weird vicious circle when you need to drink to continue to tolerate the drinkers.
