Sorry to reply to the whole list, but I think I should clarify something.
Since I'm new, you don't know that I rarely drink. Stolies Vanilla and Diet
Pepsi (or Coke) is something I recently discovered. To this day, so help me
God, I've never had a beer! No kidding. Just didn't want to. Thanks for
letting me clear up something so obviously silly. It just doesn't sit right
with me when I let people think other of me than I am.
OK. Next time I post, it will be about museums. So be it.
