MY FIRST TIME DRINKING ALCOHOL.
After mentioning that I drink alcohol on occasion this morning, and then working out with Brian, I think today is the day I want to delve into my thoughts on “THE PARTY SCENE”
I’m not even sure where to start…….O.K. I guess the party started for me when I was 17 years old. Kids my age were starting to experiment with alcohol, and I was spending my summers with my parents in Michigan at the cottage. My friend Mark Shelton was with me up there for most of the summer, and we spent our time fishing, swimming, sitting by the campfire, and hanging out with the neighbor girls.(Yes, the same ones that were playing volleyball when I proposed to Jenny) Their names are Robin, and Renee, and I had a big crush on Robin. We use to wait until it got dark and then play flashlight tag, using our yard and theirs as the boundary lines. All the kids played, Brian, Sheri, Robin’s younger sister Reagan, as well as her younger brother Aaron, even other kids on the block joined in the fun. I used to look forward to the times that Robin and I would end up hiding together, but when this was going on I thought she had no interest in me, so we spent time hanging out during the summer and that was about it.
The next part of the story is a little fuzzy, but basically Mark and I got invited one day to go to a yacht club teen dance that was coming up soon. I don’t remember exactly who all was going but the night started off driving through the woods, and going to the beach with alcohol. We had a great time, but my extremist personality must have come out, because everyone else had a few drinks and enjoyed the night. I however, didn’t get to spend more than 1 minute inside the dance before a man came up to me and asked “Son, have you been drinking?”
