That was what a floor mate asked me my first day on campus in 1985.
I laughed and replied 'Look kid, I'm going to be 25 on Thanksgiving Day."
Of course his next question was "will you buy for me?"
Be was disappointed when I said "I don't drink it. I don't buy it."
At that time I was approaching 3 years sober.
Today I'm approaching 37 years sober. So I'm more comfortable having my family try stuff I never drank. :D
This year, my birthday again falls on Thanksgiving day.
I wish you all a happy time celebrating my birthday.

Congrats on your 37 years. Now let's get serious.

Age 25 in 1985, so that says born in 1960, so this thanksgiving you turn 59. Just shy of 60. Damn, you are old. :p

Math is hard. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]
My kids think it is funny that their mother is 2 years older than me. Even funnier that everyone thinks I'm much older than she is. Ha!
The kids are 23 and 24 now.

Donā€™t send her none of that moonshine. It was 44 degrees at battery Oaks meet and greet but Millie was walking around complaining how hot she was after a couple chugs of someoneā€™s moonshine. Thought we were gonna get a stripshow at one point..

LMAO.
That stuff sure did warm me up! It was awesome, and I want more!
It made the night shooting even more fantastic than it probably would have been anyway. I appreciated everyone going down there and showing me the fire!

(I'd never subject y'all to a stripshow! Nobody wants to see that!! LOL.)
