"I am headed to the Piggly Wiggly to buy some milk," I told him. "Do you need anything?"
"Oh no!" George said slurring his words. "I am going to stay at home today."
That statement made me grin as I didn't ask him to go with me.
"Okay," I then said. "You have a good day George."
"What is it with all these temptations to drink lately?" I asked myself.
George stumbled on his feet a little bit and plopped back down on one of the wrought iron chairs I had given him.
It is refreshing to step into the Piggly Wiggly to do some shopping. The store is so cool, clean and brightly lit. That $24 dollars I had in my wallet is quickly disappearing. Especially after that trip to the Waffle House yesterday.

Sir:
I do not think of it as temptation. I see it as more akin to you wanting a non-relative friend to hang around with. I would strongly consider trying to have more of a friendship with George. You do not have to drink ( you could drink soda while he drinks beer).
I think you are missing having a friend who is not your father or Charlie, both of whom are family and caretakers of a sort for you. You need a fellow who is just a friend, who is on equal footing as you.

For once, I don't agree with Pipe. I think it would be a HUGE temptation so sit with someone who is drinking!
Don't do it!
