Life with Jim
Jim is, Jim was, and Jim will always be.
My father’s grandfather.
Three generations a taste for bourbon.
Jim Beam in our blood line.
The first scent of my life.
My father on one knee patting my soft hair.
A young nose tickled by robust vapors.
A demon, an angel, a crutch, a lifestyle.
“It’s only a problem if it becomes a solution.”
Jim Beam?
Not now and not ever again.
