Seems like old times

Last week was the holiday party for the consulting outfit I'm working with. Decent spread, Rockefeller Center, overlooking the tree lighting. Well stocked, open bar. I had a few scotches, big cups, and headed for home. It struck me on the way home that at my advanced age, a big advantage of drinking booze over beer is that I didn't need to hit the head, all two hours of the trip home - no teeth gritting, white knuckle waiting for some guy hiding in the train toilet because he's to cheap to buy a ticket. A far cry from college days, when the goal of doing shots was to get as plastered as possible.

That got me to thinking of other things I'm doing that I did back in the day, but for different reasons. Example: I stay up pretty late these days, like back in the old days. In college it was because that's when people were up and about, and you could enjoy the party; now it's when they're all asleep, so I can enjoy the quiet. I'm working two jobs, again, but actually enjoying the cash less....hmmmmmm. Oh well, there's always the scotch - big cups, ideally.
