Gail Caldwell Quotes
The Rest Of The Family Tree Had A Root System Soggy With Alcohol ... One Aunt Had Fallen Asleep With Her Face In The Mashed Potatoes At Thanksgiving Dinner; Another's Fondness For Coors Was So Unwavering That I Can Still Remember The Musky Smell Of The Beer And The Coldness Of The Cans. Most Of The Men Drank The Way All Texas Men Drank, Or So I Believed, Which Meant That They Were Tough Guys Who Could Hold Their Liquor Until They Couldn't Anymore
a Capacity That Often Led To Some Cloudy Version Of Doom, Be It Financial Ruin Or Suicide Or The Lesser Betrayal Of Simple Estrangement. Both Social Drinkers, My Parents Had Eluded These Tragic Endings; In The Postwar Texas Of Suburbs And Cocktails, Their Drinking Was Routine But Undramatic.
