  • On Friday night I learned that five shots of Crown Royal for a Thai flower vase is worth it. I was aiming for five shots of Patron, but the owner probably felt that five shots of Patron was too much to lose. I do not blame them. After all, it is Patron, and I am not a snob. In any case, taking five shots really was not as bad as many people were expecting it to be. It is not the smoothest alcohol in the world, but it is not bad either. I am a husky guy, and I think I was doing fine. Supposedly, a person should chill for an hour for each drink. Not to sound cocky, but I think my recovery time is much better than that. Call it the Wolverine or Superman healing factor in me.

    It is Christmas Eve and I have had the opportunity to ask a few people what their ultimate gift would be. I've gotten some great answers, and most of them are not of the selfish nature. Comparing their gift to mine is pretty sobering. It would be nice to be able to make a lot of them come true. Nobody really requested anything excessive. Oprah has her show where she fulfills people's dreams. It sure would be nice to be able to do that.
