Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now a Cadillac Margarita. A classic Margarita with a splash of Cointreau.

Three weeks, and no word from the new clinic. I understand their HR department is a chaotic mess. But I’m starting to consider other options.

I love you all…

...Aaaaaaaaaand......it's 8 o'clock in the morning. Officially off call.

What a week…

Party time to-NIGHT!

Welcome to the President Joe Biden Era.

Where the President's political opponents are convinced he is a devious, Machiavellian criminal mastermind, and also senile and incapable of coherent thought.

For Father's Day every year, my step-daughter sends me a greeting card, and writes inside it:

"YOU'RE NOT MY REAL FATHER!"

I always call or text her in return: "YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAUGHTER!"

We actually have a much better relationship than she has with her real dad. His jerk-ass behavior is the reason his former wife is now my wife.

Of Mrs. Aristus's three grown children, she's the one I've always been closest to.

Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

But don’t expect an answer right away. I’m too damned tired from clinic. I excised the largest lipoma I’ve ever seen. Pretty touchy procedure, and I’m thrashed.

Two shots to get the party started. Than a John Collins. Bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda.

I’m going to chill for a while.

I love you all…

Just discovered that Washington State distills vodka.

I’ve extolled the virtues of the Evergreen State’s own Woodinville bourbon for a while now. And we’re of course well known for our wines and our craft beers.

Just tried our local vodka, distilled on Bainbridge Island. OMG, it’s horrible! Worse than Reyka! I’m a Washington patriot, but I’m sorry, this stuff is terrible! Makes me wish I had gotten a bottle of Finlandia instead.

I’m stuck with a tall bottle of the stuff. Maybe it will serve well as a mixer. But neat, it’s spectacularly awful.

Anyway, I’m now enjoying a Derby; blended whisky, sweet vermouth, Cointreau, and lime juice. Much better.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

I love you all…

Friday Night Rum Buzz. Ask me anything.

I’m enjoying Between The Sheets.

No! Dirty mind! The cocktail!

Rum, cognac, Grand Marnier, and lemon juice.

I made it a double. Awful day in clinic.

Looking forward to the weekend.

I love you all…

Any comment from James Comey?

Because, Dude, you are one spectacularly incompetent asshole. So much of this is your fault.
