A whiskey sour is such a tasty cocktail.

One of my first favorite cocktails was a Bacardi cocktail.

They are both so "old school".

I love an Old Fashioned, too. That is considered the ultimate conservative favorite cocktail. I’m a far-left liberal, and I love a good Old Fashioned.

I should get a bottle of Bacardi. It has a higher abv than a lot of rums. I’ll try it out in a Bacardi cocktail.

Glad you recovered in time for the buzz

Wow. Thanks. Now I’m craving steak! 🥩

But I think it might be more properly called a whiskey flip. It was made in the blender with frozen OJ and lemon juice and ice and an egg (hence flip) and whatever whiskey or whisky he had on hand and some crushed ice. Sink a maraschino cherry in that in a champagne flute and your holiday morning was a happy place!

So, do you celebrate any other day but Friday?

And I am glad you are feeling better. Is your eye in the state to terrify children? (I had that once.)

I have to set limits, or I’d drink all the time.

But I actually won't be doing the nostalgic thing, much as I enjoyed thinking of my father's festive concoctions. (He also made a delightful Welshman's Ramos Fizz, a recipe lost to memory.) i don't drink spirits much in my old age, although there will be a nice wine with the dinner tomorrow.

As a young man, I usually only suffered 2 or 3 per year.

As someone now in his 50s, I'd say it's up to one every month or two.

Not a troubling number, but definitely on the rise compared to decades ago. Never crippling headaches, fortunately, pretty mild.

Enjoy your weekend, Aristus!

that lasts a few days, responds poorly to ibuprofen or Tylenol, and then goes away. When one sets in, it’s not even a question of being able to make it through a day of clinic; it’s about not even being able to get up get dressed, and drive to the clinic. That’s when I call out.

I'm fortunate because my headaches almost immediately respond to ibuprofen or Tylenol.

Pinot Grigio at dinner. We're all old and happy.

And, in the immortal words of the Monty Python skit, "We're not dead yet!"

Ya know, you WILL get old (fingers crossed) and unless you want to live alone, one of these places is great. Minimum housework and cooking.And at our place, you also get happy hour with a piano player.
