got this from my older brother, jmc, who turns 30 today. its a sweet read by cartoonist tim kreider in the times. here is a little clip from the article that made me smile at my desk, scratch my head, and wonder if I could miss work and head to a super early happy hour.
There is really no drinking half as enjoyable as daytime drinking, when the sun is out, the bars are empty of dilettantes, and the afternoon stretches ahead of you like summer vacation. The gleeful complicity you and your drinking buddies share in the excellent decision to have one more ill-advised round, knowing full well you’re forfeiting the day — you can almost physically feel something lifted from you at this moment, even if you know it will fall back more heavily later on. We used to raise a toast: “Gentlemen — our lives are unbelievably great.”
happy 30th jm.
great read... NYT writers really are some of the best going around.
