Dry January is mathematically incoherent. If you do it, and then drink every other day of the year, as I do, you will have reduced your number of drinking days by 31. But if you go one night a week without drinking, you will knock off 52 days. Two nights a week and you're at 104. Do dry Wednesdays.

I have tried these and other permutations, believe me. I have the willpower of a dishcloth.

So, you wrote this one stone-cold sober, but not all the others? You can't tell! ha. Big points for "Dry me a Liver." Where do you come up with this stuff?

Liked it all , loved the opening to 19.

Back on the couch on a cold cold Sunday morning , with a coffee and your dancing associative thoughts.

Makes me happy
