1 - heavy drinking  
2 - casual sex  
3 - travel  
4 - stamp collecting and then slitting your wrists because stamps are basically worthless  
5 - amusement parks like Holiday World and Knoebels that have areas that are winter year round  
6 - did heavy drinking get mentioned yet?  
7 - weed. The garden, of course. What did you think I meant?  
8 - listening to the summer breeze and the noise of the Pittsburgh Pirates sucking  
9 - ever consider a motorcycle? By the time you heal it could be hockey season again!  
10 - two words - the Dope!

OK – from last week

Your Python reminded me of a variation of an old Carlin routine I use in diners now and then when they are full and ask for your name:  
Hostess - Name please?  
Me - Prokryfka  
Hostess - Could you spell that?  
Me - S M I T H  
Hostess - Huh?  
Me - The S is silent and the rest of the letters don’t count.
