Hello booze. It's been a while.

I worked from home today, partly because I wasn't feeling well, partly because I can.

I haven't stepped foot outside my sprawling 900 sq. ft. suburban home in over 30 hours. I ended my flu-symptom-induced sobriety about three hours ago. Apparently my tolerance has been lowered to dangerously low levels because, after just a few drinks, I actually watched some of the Country Music Awards.

I'm watching Joaquin Phoenix on David Letterman. He said he quit drinking, hasn't drank in many months. You're only 30 and you've given up already? Nobody likes a quitter, Joaquin!
