 I mention cheap California burgundy quite often in my poems why do I drink the wine? it doesn’t help me write poetry no . . . it helps me come down from writing poetry well, partly I quit drinking twenty some-odd years ago until Dottie died and I moved to where I live now the freshness of her death and the new place plus I had to put the Nipperdawg down I had a hard time sleeping decided I’d have a glass of vino before I went to bed couldn’t hurt I tried it and it worked put me in snooze-land with no problem that has been five years ago uh . . . I’m still drinking the wine only now I’m drinking three to four glasses at night so I have to tell ya between my nightly medication and the cheap California burgundy I sleep like the dead for seven or eight hours sometimes more and nope except for being a little fuzzy for about an hour after getting out of bed I have no hangover of any kind my doctor thinks I drink too much hah! wasn’t her that couldn’t sleep more’n three hours a night she doesn’t even ask me about my wine intake anymore just felt like coming clean about things ©March 21, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ Make of yourself a light.--Mary Oliver . . . ~*~ |

I should give that a try... Don't think I'd have to twist my wife's arm to get her to join me either  |

They say sleep deprivation is as dangerous as driving drunk. Night caps for everyone! Better than Ambien that has people driving in their sleep! Jerry if you want to pickle your liver to preserve it to last as long as the rest of your innards, you just go right ahead...who are we to judge. It is quality not quantity. Lori |

I don't know that I am pickling my liver, I have no problem so far. Of course I understand that it is entirely possible. Anyway, thank you for your comments, they are always appreciated. ~*~ Make of yourself a light.--Mary Oliver . . . ~*~ |

Fine writing...whenever I read stories like this I think of my friend in California that I would visit until he passed away and I remember at first one six pack would suit him until it evolved into two...James |
