Day 29: End in sight

Nov 29, 2006 20:24

According to CNN, America has just gotten more dangerous. "Last year, a group of sea lions took over a Newport Beach marina and caused a vintage 50-foot yacht to capsize when they boarded it....In Alaska, a huge sea lion jumped onto a fisherman's boat in 2004, knocked him overboard and pulled him underwater; he escaped without serious injury."

When sea lions attack, it's up to us to look for festive cheer wherever we can find it. And no, I don't mean in radio stations that play Christmas carols 24 hours a day, or blinking, motorized Christmas decorations. No, I mean in alcohol.

If you're looking for me on December 5th, I'll be celebrating Repeal Day. The brain child of blogger and mixologist Jeffrey Morgenthaler, December 5th is "the anniversary of the day the United States repealed the Eighteenth Amendment and gave us all the constitutional right to consume alcohol."

Why should December 5th be a major drinking holiday in the United States?

We have the constitutional right to do so. How many forms of pleasure are guaranteed by the Constitution? None, unless you’re one of those who get an inflated sense of ego from holding a firearm or speaking in public. Me, I’m going to stick with alcohol.

Me too. Remember Repeal Day. Go to a bar. Pick up some beer or wine and share with friends and loved ones. Drink -- or the terrorists will win.

repeal day, sea lions
