One down and one to go.

Jean-Marc has claimed on numerous occasions that my ability to party is shameful when compared to a French or German’s ability to party until the wee hours of the night. I am offended by this, mostly because it means that I am aging where my European counter parts are not. I used to be able to party like a rock star, but that was a few years ago. However I now know that my German friend is also aging, after a few hours of drinking (5 hours), she could barely stand up. This lack of equilibrium on Ellen’s part was not because she had too much to drink; it was because she was sleepy. No partying like a rock star for her anymore. One down and one to go, age catches up with all of us.
