  • Birthday weekend

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Mon Nov 10 07:56:06 2025
    It's my birthday, my family and I took a trip to Napa, California's
    first big wine region. Did some shopping, stayed at a great
    thai-flavored B&B, had dinner at a wonderful restaurant, an amazing
    breakfast on the grounds of the B&B and took the scenic route home.

    One problem with being in wine country - I stopped drinking a couple of
    months ago. Weird, I started journalling what I'm eating and just
    stopped drinking when I started factoring in the calories.

    I did some back-of-the-beermat math and figured the calories I'd drunk
    in my adult life equalled close to 500 pounds worth of fat.

    It was refreshing driving through wine country sober when I know
    everyone else on the road's had a few.

    Happy birthday! That sounds like a good weekend.

    I've never drank alcohol much. Even at my age, I'm still unsure of how much (or little) I could drink and still drive safely, so I always err on the side of caution and don't drink if I'll be driving later.

    I stopped drinking a couple years ago but love wine country. I've debated whether or not it would be worthwhile to go back and visit. Your post has
    given support to the 'go back' option, thanks!
