You might find it hypocritical that I'm writing about alcoholism today. I mean, really, how can the purveyor of 5:00 Fridays have anything legitimate and meaningful to say about alcoholism? I've been accused of being a drunk slobbering mom who ignores her children and carries … [Read more...] about Did Alcoholism or Hubris kill Elena Shapiro?

Twick or Twizzlers – 5:00 Fridays
