Brother Nick,
Yes indeed I have, at least Three Times. Of course, I used to drink a little. Well let's be honest about it, I used to drink a lot. I've always said, I didn't know if I was drinking too much 'cause I was married, or marrying too much 'cause I was drunk, so I gave up both at the same time, October 15th, 1983. A Dark, Dark Day for the Kennedys, as Scotch stocks dropped over 500 points.
All of this
Reminiscing
is making me teary eyed and in a loving mood. Speaking of Loving, here's my Favorite
REDNECK LOVE POEM
