Lather-rinse-repeat . . . Wake up to announcement "Welcome to Shady Grove. Metro is now closed. Trains start again at 6pm Sunday Morning." Reminds me of the origin of the expression: “Ride the train to Shady Grove” -
Beer at Irish times
Trip to john at Irish times – the noise of my illness forced everyone out of the bathroom
More beer at Irish times
Somehow get on Metro at Union Station
Get off Metro at Juciary Square to barf into garbage can
Miss Garbage can
Get on next train
Endless cycle of doors closing, hearing announcement of “Red Line to Shady Grove”, closing eyes to blot out pain, hearing the name of next station, thanking God I was almost to Tenlytown. Lather-rinse-repeat . . .
Wake up to announcement “Welcome to Shady Grove. Metro is now closed. Trains start again at 6pm Sunday Morning.”

I will, however, take on Tequila. And that’s why I leave Whiskey Drinkin’ to the pros.

Which you never mind, till it's time to go there... There’s definately something about the devil’s liquid that makes home a little farther away with every drop.
