Josh's 21st Birthday, part 2
Since Josh's actual birthday was spent at college, packing his dorm room up and coming home, we had his birthday-party-at-home on Saturday. As it happens, it snowed on Friday--not much in Virginia Beach, just enough to turn the decks and cars white and make the stairs slick, but other parts of the state got 12-14 inches or more. Several people who'd been planning to come were stuck in Fairfax, so we had four guests actually arrive. In practice, this meant "plenty of food" and "hook up two X-boxes." The guys stayed up till 6am, we woke them at 2pm this afternoon, fed them breakfast, and they went back at it. And are still at it right now, so including the sleep break, this party has been going on 28 hours. But no drinking, other than lots of root beer.

In spite of being a sturdy proponent of fine beer, wine, port, and whisky, I will say one can have quite a fantastic event without alcohol anywhere in sight.
I hope Josh had fun and uses his newfound legality responsibly. The main two things to avoid are getting into stupid, troublesome situations while intoxicated (usually ending in fights or run ins with the gendarmes) or trying to drive while under the influence (unexcusable).
I've avoided both of those and for the most part, the drinks in my life have been good ones shared with good friends. Moderation in all things as the old saying goes.
Oh, and don't mix booze and dynamite. Most normal people wouldn't need that warning, but this is Josh we're talking about.
