Ten and a Half... by Paul Tanck
It's basically an excuse to have a drink. The reasoning being that it is - arbitrarily - considered okay by some to only drink alcohol after 5pm - but not before. So anyone wanting an alcoholic drink before 5 would then claim that "it´s 5 o'clock somewhere" in the world, and it´s therefore okay to have a drink anytime.
Sounds good to me. It´s always great on cruising vacations, like Marcia and I have experienced in the glorious past, but especially so in our own, unique, Blue World Lounge. I know I´ve alluded to it in previous columns, a great nightly spot to let your worries go, have a couple Martini´s - the house specialty - and just casually discuss the day´s events. Maybe have some hors´ de oeuvres. "Cheese, anyone?" Who knows?
Our "adult time" as we called it when our son Zack was growing up and we, too, needed our space, is now usually starting around 6:15, if you can believe that? Damn professional life, delaying our cocktail time! [On Fridays we get to commence at 5:15, a true proper way to on-send the weekend! What ho!]
