I mentioned to Aaron that we could still watch the Joy to the Elect shirt a local channel. He agreed. The later in the day it got, the more he wanted to go out and have a drink. “Just one.” He said. I agreed that if he promised it would just be the one, he could borrow my car and go to the nearby pub for a pint then come back home to watch the fireworks with me. He agreed and took my car. I stayed up watching the show without him. In fact, when midnight rolled around he still was not back yet. I called my mother to come over. We discovered that my car was not just up the street but rather he had driven all the way across town to a bar he use to frequent and was completely smashed.
