The price for a bottle of Lagavulin finally came down.

Bought a bottle of 16 year-old and just cracked it. The peaty, campfire smell is Heavenly.

Laphroiag, I love you, you smoky bastard. And you’re reasonably priced. But Lagavulin has got you beat!

🥃

Cheers, everybody!

Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now enjoying a La Floridita tonight. White rum. Sweet vermouth, créme de cacao, lime juice, and grenadine.

Yummy!

I love you all…

I can't get my iPhone to play on my car stereo.

I own a 2011 Acura TL that has a USB outlet in order to be able to plug in smart phones. For some reason, I can't get music from my iTunes account on my iPhone to play on my car stereo for any real length of time.

I've got the proper adapter and wire, and I can usually get the stereo to play most of a single cut. But then it stops, and I can't get any playback on the stereo, even when I can see it's playing back on the phone.

Any tips?

Anyone think the "shoot whoever is at the door" incidents are increasing

because of TFG’s indictment?

The crazed gunfucks going thermonuclear because their poisonous cult leader is being held accountable?

Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Enjoy a Gold Martini tonight. Gin, vodka, brandy, Cointreau, and ginger.

Yummy!

Here’s to the weekend!

I love you all…

I just found out there are NO medical providers at the mainstream clinic today.

We've been getting walk-in after walk-in this morning, and the bloated schedule eventually kept us going through the beginning of the lunch hour.

Now I know why. The provider scheduling incompetence over there is almost literally killing me.

Two hours until the weekend...

All set to watch "The Mandalorian" finale yesterday, aaaaaaand Disney Plus was down.

Until it comes back up, I'm going to have to dodge spoilers like a break dancer doing broken field running.

I'd love to have a face-to-face with the idiots who order prior authorizations for life-saving meds.

Just got handed a prior authorization for a medication my patient needs for treating pulmonary hypertension.

I'd like to say to one of these pencil-pushing fuckwads "My patient has a hard time just being able to breath. But please: keep sending me these idiotic requests that basically ask 'Does she really need this medication?' "

Enjoying a Foghorn on a Saturday evening.

Gin, lemon juice, and ginger beer poured over ice in an Old Fashioned glass.

Yummy!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Back from visiting my stepson and our granddaughters. Had a wonderful time. I’m so proud of my stepson. He’s handling his divorce well, is a spectacular single Dad, a successful businessman, and a talented bartender. He kept the cocktails coming during a very enjoyable time.

Granddaughters are absolute angels.

Tonight: two shots of vodka to get the party started. Now I’m enjoying a Crimson; gin, grenadine, lemon juice, and some ruby port poured over the top.

I love you all…
