"NO-JUICE JANUARY"

It's January 7 and I am kicking "No-Juice January" into high gear. For those of you who are somewhat out of the loop, "No-Juice January" is that time of year when I take a month off from the booze to "detox" and start the year fresh (not that I am a big drinker to begin with). It's a yearly ritual that I've been doing for a long time now and it comes in handy after the long holiday season.

I borrowed the idea from THE DON years ago when I first started working at Third and Long and I look forward to it every January. Ironically enough, the hardest part of "No-Juice January" is when folks try to buy you a drink and you have to decline. Some take offense to being snubbed and then I have to explain "No-Juice January" to them, after which they become more understanding. Sometimes it can be a bit boring, especially when everyone else is getting their drink on during a celebration, but you keep your eyes on the prize. Luckily for me, "No-Juice January" ends on Feb 1, which is Super Bowl Sunday. I can't think of a better way to celebrate the end of the fast.

So, 6 days down, 24 days to go......
