One of the first life lessons I learned from an older jazz musician (Roger Boykin, I believe it was) has proven one of the most useful and consistently beneficial - never trust anybody who neither smokes, drinks, nor curses at least occasionally.

And never play cards with any man named Doc.

I have a couple of friends who follow Modern Drunkard religiously.

Jazzmoose, I'm with ya... at least I still curse with some regularity. Can I be trusted if I packed a lifetime's worth of drinking & smoking into ages 13-30? B-)

Nowadays my main vices are drinking too much coffee and buying too many jazz CDs.

This article kills me. But, what the frick, I'll have another drink and some more Sonny Rollins. Works for me.

If I do it for you, I'll have to do it for President Bush. But crack open a bottle, get out the ashtray, and we'll see if we can't work something out.
