Greetings from the Land of Drunk.

This entry is more likely than most to be crap. Hel, I'm having troubles just typing.

I'm still in Albuquerque, and the Keeper of Seasons Hall Eilifur Vishka (Eternal Wisdom) meeting was today. Among othet things, we talked about moderation -- in alcohol and other things. It made me realize how long it had been since I got really really drunk. I'm alone (Yeah, drinking alone. With nobody else. You know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself) and extremely drunk. Captain Morgan is half empty. Or half full. Since I'm drunk, he's half empty.

What does this have to do with moderation? Well, having not been drunk since last August, I figured it was fairly moderate to get drunk.

And of course, I conveniently forgot the affect of altitude on drunkenness. Albuquerque is about a mile above sea level, and those of us who aren't used to the altitude.... well, we're really really succeptible to drunkenness.

Strange thing. Green Acres actually makes sense when you're drunk.

What's the importance of moderation? Hel, read your Havamal. Look for verses about drunkenness. Of course, moderation applies to a lot more than just drunkenness (bear with me; I can barely feel my fingers); but drinking is a good example of it. Being moderate is important, but sometimes it's important to remind yourself what it is you're being moderate over.

I'd love to write a lot more, but I'm.... well, drunk. Half my last paragraph just disappeared. Soon will I tell you all about the visit Erich and I made to Chaco Canyon. For now, be happy with the pictures:
