The scene: It’s in the 90’s outside, not too humid, there’s a nice breeze too. A bright sunny day. You’re by the beach, or at a friend’s pool. Someone brought a 5-gallon thermos of tropical drinks, and even though it’s only 1 pm, you’re getting lubed on the fruity goodness. Continue reading
Remember when you first learned of “Teen Night” at one of the clubs in town? You and your friends packed yourselves into the station wagon that the one person who was old enough to drive could borrow for the night and off you went. You were feeling very grown up but at the same time, wishing you were old enough to have had a beer or six before going in.
