Oh, and then there was the beer drinking, but I was drinking with the fit yoots from the gym and, heck, the drinking works for them so I figured I&#8217;d give it a try. And finally I went to my co-worker&#8217;s open house on Sunday afternoon. I couldn&#8217;t insult his wife by not eating the high calorie nibbly bits, could I?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, anyone who knows me knows that I&#8217;m always doing something stupid on my computer, especially when I should be sleeping.
