You are WAY better at `spainin` than I am. In 1999, I just told `em I was in a drunken state of mind, and they just shake their head like, ``Well, that explains it.``

The harder part is explaining why I held through 2000`s run. Today, in 2006, I just say I was in a drunken state of mind and they just shake their head like, ``Well, that explains it.``

One of these days I plan of wakin` up to a better story to tell just so I can hear, ``You lucky drunk! Drinks are on you.``

At least I now get the good stuff.

Looking forward to a little good news this week -- not too much as I think there may be some weak hearts amoung us. Small doses of good news and black ink over a few consistent Qs would do just fine.

Yes, regular use keeps my rosey glasses from fogin` up. Don`t you just hate that pink fog?
