Happy 66.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666667th, Chris!

 

[chrisb]

well, if you wanna get technical, I rounded down to nearest whole digit - but thanks,

FWIW, I always argue with my wife that a birthday recognizes the end of the year, so that means I'll be starting my 67th orbit.

 

[TheGimp]

67 on Feb 27th.

The bad news is that my daughter is divorcing my SIL.

The good news is that I get my 20L cask of Sherry back.

I have to replace the spigot, and refill it with $200 in sherry.

I've got a 12 yo Bushmill Single Malt that I will enjoy tomorrow.

But today and rite now I am dreaming away with a not so old

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

For the budget connoisseur, Bushmills Black Bush or basic Tullamore DEW are quite nice. I've never ventured to - or been gifted with - any of the special 10 /12/ 15yr or Warehouse Specials, etc. Perhaps that's a good thing?

 

[soundbrigade]

There was, when we visited Bushmill Distillery a few years ago a special offer on the 12 yo. It was said that it could only be purchased at the distillery.

More eggnog this morning. It really is addicting when made right.

 

[TheGimp]

Hennessy.

I may have to make a batch of eggnog.

Would you share your recipe, Cal?

Heading out to the GFs shortly. I'll be back home tomorrow to start fixing Christmas Dinner.

All the shopping is done.

Packages of home made raisin bread and cookies have been shipped to various parts of the USA to friends and family.

Presents are wrapped, and under the tree.

I'm declaring it a holiday.

Y'all be good now, ya hear?
