Friday Night Whiskey Buzz. Ask me anything.

Tonight, a Derby. Blended whiskey, sweet vermouth, Cointreau, and lime juice. Yummy! Nice and citrusy.

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I love you all…

Instead of the red states, where their problems originate. It’s easier that way. The problems never got solved, but at least they always have someone else to blame them on.

It’s smooth and rich and warm. Really wonderful. IMO. No one I know has ever heard of it, and we have to cross into Canada to find it.

What do you think of it?
