A couple more challenges ahead of me. [View all]

My wife is going out of town on a couple of trips. One this Tuesday and another in a couple weeks. So I'll be on my own. Way, way in the back of my mind there's a voice saying, "You can get hammered just one time. You won't get caught." But I know I'm stronger than that and can get through it just fine. Wish me luck!
