Marcus is not a teetotaler

I want to address a question that I have gotten from people on the street and on the telephone.
I am not going to be a teetotaler. All I am doing is giving up drinking for two months (January and February) and starting in March will only drink
-things that are made by Monks
-things that are made on site
-Stuff that I brewed myself (I am considering learning t brew...)


I will not drink anything
-that is advertised during the superbowl. If a food or beverage is advertised during the superbowl, chances are that it sucks.
-Long Island Iced Teas (as I am not 22)
-Any Frozen tropical drink (this was not hard...)

After toiling I went on my final run of the month around the Lake. My knee started to hurt so I slowed down a bit but fell good after opposite of fred.

As I did not want to deal with parking I took BART into the Mission and walked to Amnesia for the Urban Diversion Happy Hour where I was not drinking. Went to a store to get licorice (Panda) and this woman approaches me telling me that she had not seem me in two years and she told me that she is now in a folk band called "Making Dinner". Honestly I had no clue who she was and was hoping my mental rolodex would help me out but it had a one track mind (Licorice). She finally told me her name (Zarah) and I went to a charity Kickball game.

The Happy Hour was at Amnesia where the last time I went the bartender played a Dolly Parton song that I could not find. On the way into work they played a Dolly Parton song on the jukebox from hell and I did not agree. I heard Jolene around the Lake.
