Wasting away in Margaritaville?  Not likely.  My old drinking and cross country hitchhiking buddy thrives in a hedonistic enclave south of the border.
 

He actually kidnapped me once, tossing my passed-out cuerpo into the back seat of a stolen car and taking off for the east coast.  It ended up being a great trip and I guess I have to thank him for it.

I still can't believe the things Jon, myself, and our friends got away with in the old days.

Now ensconced in his comfortable, well-stocked beachside home, Jon hosted New Year's festivities featuring forms of wildness I haven't experienced much of lately.

Here's Jon in the 1970's.
