Good to see you back.

My company does a lot of DoD work for the US government and consequently we have to be be drug tested fairly often....

As usual I passed my latest drug screening yesterday... I'm looking at the test results there are few things I never heard of on that bad boy....

Good thing they don't check for too much Merlot.......
