On the beach. Took a slight detour but got to shore. It’s Miller Time!

Good to be back on dry land again.

Went down a quick rabbit hole before getting straightened out. On shore.

Gave up Bourbon for Lent. It’s National margarita day, so time to start the mixer up.

On shore. Dry February, because there are only 28 days.
