Getting ready to head up the hills to a Bluegrass festival. Packing my cooler with fresh fruits, vegies and lemonade. For, I think, the first time in about 20 years of attending--no booze. Normally there'd be wine for celebration, beer for chilling, vodka for serious. I can actually enjoy the music instead of the big buzz, not hitting the porty potties every 1/2 hour, and not driving home the back roads praying I won't get pulled over. What a trip. Life's so simply lived sober.

Sounds like a lovely trip and scrummy cool box. Enjoy a simple and sober and memorable, unembaressing time

You also forgot the long lines at the port potty, while you do the potty dance

Bluegrass festival sounds nice

Enjoy MycoolFitz

A little bluegrass sobriety:

I will not be your sweetheart
I'll tell you the reason why
My mother always told me
To pass a drunkard by

Beautiful isle o'er the sea
Beautiful isle o'er the sea
Beautiful isle o'er the sea
There's someone waiting for me

Now young man I will tell you
If you want my heart my hand
You better quit your drinking
And be a sober man

Go prove yourself be faithful
Go prove yourself be true
And sometime in the future
Perhaps I'll marry you

Now that is what I call living! Sounds like a nice time. Enjoy

I'm jealous! That sounds like a blast. It's a great feeling to be able to not have those things and not miss those things at the same time.

Enjoy the concert. It's nice remembering the concert the next day.

When I was younger I was "present" at a lot of concerts. I wish had stayed sober and used the beer money to buy a t-shirt instead.

Well, I made it back safe, sane?, and sober. The bluegrass, countrygrass, cajungrass, rockgrass, highwaygrass, railroadgrass, spiritual grass, hippiegrass was all good, especially, of course, the Irish instilled grass :-). Speaking of grass, the ZZ Top clones in front of me were going whole hog, along with booze. They eventually got booted and I did Ok, except my left nostril might have relapsed.

Cool you are doing great - so proud of you! It's amazing how we convince ourselves we're missing out if we're not numb. Such insanity.
