BYCU

Well, I hope to be able to drink tonight. It's been a rough week, health-wise. Bad food poisoning Sunday night; 2.5 hours in a dental chair on Wednesday. I was barely among the living on Thursday, just going through the motions. I'm hoping to rebound today so I can throw back a few with two of my sons who are coming in for the weekend.

The reference to *The Bob Newhart Show* yesterday reminded me of a sophisticated drinking game I used to play: The Bob Game. We'd sit around with beer, watching *The Bob Newhart Show*. Whenever someone said "Bob," everyone had to take a drink. It was a lot more brutal than it sounds.

Well, it ain't cool, but it was worth a shot: "Longford man who was intoxicated at a convent asked nuns for drinking money." [Link](https://www.longfordleader.ie/news/news/343664/longford-man-who-was-intoxicated-at-a-convent-asked-nuns-for-drinking-money.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It was, after all, the "Convent of Mercy," and located in Ireland. One might be forgiven for thinking "mercy" and "alcohol" go together in the mad world of the Irish:

> The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,  
> For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad.
