Hi John Yeah I've never been much of a chick magnet either. Doesn't stop me from trying though.
I don't remember when I quit drinking. Or why. I just woke up one day and realized I hadn't drank for a few years. I guess not drinking is as much a habit as drinking. I don't miss it, not like I miss cigarettes. My address? I'm straight out of Compton. Illinois that is. PO Box 184. Zip 61318.
