I just went to the liquor store for the very first time. That's a little weird, because I'm sixty seven years old. It was not what I expected. I'm not quite sure what I expected, but it wasn't that. I'm in Utah, so it's a state run liquor store. I've seen the liquor section in a California grocery store, but this was like that on steroids. It was bigger than a discount shoe store. There were five or six checkout stands. People were pushing shopping carts around the isles. I stood in the Vodka section wondering if I should buy Smirnoff or Grey Goose, or some other brands I'd never heard of. It was overwhelming! I was glad that I had asked my daughter what kind of liquor to buy before I went. She suggested Vodka because you can make lots of different drinks with it. How do you decide what kind of liquor you like?
My next great adventure is going to be the Tanner Bookstore.
I'm reminded of a line in the movie Mame. "Life is a banquet and most poor sons-a-bitches are starving to death". Yep, that would be me.
