Last Saturday I had to travel 51 miles to Podunkville to tune a piano. The piano belonged to a woman that had recently passed and her 50ish year old son was doing the tidy-up deceased Mom's affairs thing. She left behind a reasonably good quality grand piano along with a household of furniture, papers and a fridge with some red and white wine.
The son asked if I would like the unopened bottle of white wine as he only preferred the red. Shucks, I've been a tea-totaler for so long I thought it might be fun to slurp down a bottle of the old vino. Vino Maipo - a chardonay of some sort. Huge bottle! Looks to be about half a gallon of the stuff!
Anyway, I graciously accepted it as a sort of tip for a job well done and as he handed it to me, his girlfriend (also 50ish) said, "Party on dude!" Is it kosher to "'party on" with a bottle of Vino Maipo? Anyway, I'm sitting here tonight in my computer room/office with a small plate of swiss cheese, hi-ho crackers and olives with a glass of this stuff. I guess I'm partying on...
One of the questions my neuro asked during my first visit was, "Do you drink alchoholic beverages much?" I didn't at the time and haven't for quite a long time but I have to admit, I could become a wino. What harm could it do? Give me a motor neuron disease?
