Tonight I had a good time. I went out with a coworker, DL and her husband ML. We met for dinner and then we went across the road to Atkins Park in Smyrna to hear a musician that DL likes very much.

The company was great the food was good and the music was just right, out loud and fun.  Our 5 dollars got us masks and beads and we didn’t have to do anything for them!

Since its Mardi Gras, the place is packed. I don’t know how many of you have you ever been to a bar, and you see drunk people acting silly, or as they say in the South “actin a fool”. Well tonight was no different, possibly people acted more foolish because they were drinking more; with all those great drink specials and the feeling of being uninhibited.

One of the things I like about the fact that I don’t drink is that I get to watch people and don’t we all just love to people watch? And the more people drink the more stupid they act, which is fine for me because I love to laugh!

There were people in costumes, there were people dressed to the nines, there were a lot of beads there were a lot of masks and a lot of color.

One of the only real drawbacks to listening to music in bars…I took a shower and put on clean clothes…now they smell like smoke, the price you pay for entertainment.

Now, for those of you don’t know me, the reason I don’t drink is I just don’t like the taste of alcohol and when I go out with friends I would prefer to be the designated driver to make sure that everyone got home safely. There are enough nut cases out there driving drunk on the road that I don’t have to add to it. It’s not that I have never had a drink, it’s just that I never found a liking for the taste.

Besides if I get drunk how to be able to tell what was silly and what was it?
