135 In where I didn't get arrested

Hey y'all! It's been brought to my attention that after I arrived home on the 4th to find an impromptu block party going on, things went very south, very quickly. Not only did I get so drunk that I couldn't stand up anymore (I remember that part), I also said and did some pretty stupid things (I don't remember that part and, please, I prefer to keep it that way). I want to apologize for anything I said or did that may have offended you. Whatever you may have witnessed was the result of me being more drunk than I've been in at least 12 years; the last time I was literally falling-down drunk was just after I'd moved into my first apartment back in '98. Believe me, of the things that have been recounted to me so far, I'm so embarrassed that it's taken me several days even to gather the courage to talk about it. I don't know too many of my neighbors, and of those I do know, I only have a few of you on Facebook. So if you happen to know some of the others who were present - especially the ones whom I've not met but I _know_ I offended - please pass my apologies along. The nice, friendly guy you've met over the years, that's me. The loud-mouthed stumbling idiot you saw Sunday night was a beer and vodka fueled Mr. Hyde to whom I'm ashamed to have played Dr. Jekyll. Good neighbors are hard to find, and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon, so I hope everyone's willing to write off my behavior as a drunken fit. P.S. Whoever was setting off fireworks Tuesday night, it wasn't me. Looked like the cops showed up, but I sure as heck didn't call 'em.
