"What are you doing giving me alcohol ?
"Jeff Straun said it would be a good idea!"
"What, you think that half pack of beer would be the "Cure" for our marriage ??
"Jeff said to buy a six pack. get you legless, sleep with you and you would be alright again "
I was dismayed at his pathetic attempt. I had expected more but it was not to be. I had said I was leaving him and taking the girls with me. So all of a sudden we had baby sitters galore for the girls, a new gas tank on the Jeep Cherokee. the second tank. And our reason for going was ostensibly to have a break from the Business.
