Wow, warm summer evenings on the patio are a challenge!

Sitting outside with my wife and kids, watching them sip gin & tonics can be difficult. But I'm managing to get through it. I usually drink a couple fizzy waters and make it through. Anyone else have a hard time with situations like this?

Of course. It is a place I love to be and sometimes I fail. It is truly about when you don't. Best of luck-you are my brother.

It ain't easy...If it were "easy" it would be "easy"...I was cleaning the basement today..and there was a bottle of booze, and the thoughts came to me..I guess I got to throw that bottle out...I have had it there for over 15 years...time to throw..
