I'm shy about claiming that much courage, but I think maybe I do have more than I'd once thought.

"Courage" is a great word, you know. It really means heart. They come from the same root, and in Middle English, with that old-fashioned pronunciation, courage is a highly honored value---but it means something we don't really think of now, when we use it with its contemporary connotations. There's emotion involved. There's strength of heart, and willingness to care about others. It's part of the system of courtesy---another word with very specific roots in a practice of civility, back when there was a much clearer way of knowing the difference between brutish and civil behavior.

Back to the cocktail---and its instructions: I do tend to overindulge. . . .

What I want to know is, how come I have so fewer parts that other people? Are they sayin' I'm simple?? hh

As far as the what the heck?, I don't really know what all was witnessed by who all today & would be curious to hear, should you feel like sharing. We're such a sensitive lot around here, in our easy-going way---it's good to know if there are any concerns that might need addressing.
