Plate on the wall

A long time ago, I signed up to drink 200 different beers at a bar in Fort Worth. I got some freebie stuff, but mainly it was a goal. I achieved this goal and was presented with this plate. I was an old guy and had achieved something. Maybe not something important, but I achieved it. For some reason, I signed up to go around again. If I could drink another 200 beers, I would get another plate. So I resigned up to do my last plate. I am a mature adult male. Why should I care to have folks younger and drunker than me see this minor accomplishment. Okay a couple weeks ago, I finished my second 200 beer cycle. I am retired. Hanging up my glove. what more can I prove. Well, there is no cost for me to start again. I actually drank 201 beers so I have a beer already for my thirds plate. After this afternoon, I have 4 beers toward the next 200. I am almost there. And I ain't dead yet. Maybe I can get a third plate. Well it is worth a try.
