Drinking a Spiced Rum Coco Martini tonight.

Spiced rum, chocolate liqueur, a dash of orange bitters, and a marischino cherry. Yummy!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Friday Night Rum Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a simple, traditional, classic Daiquiri. Rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Yummy!

Busy day in clinic today. But a good day overall. Looking forward to the weekend.

I love you all…

Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a Mind Eraser. Club soda poured slowly over vodka, poured slowly over Kahlua. No mixing. Yummy, and interesting. But I like mixed drinks better than layered drinks.

Had a monumentally awful day in clinic. No bad patients, no bad cases, just my vaunted time management plans shot to hell the minute we opened. The doofuses in the call center dumped four full physical exams on my schedule, none of them in the slots that make time management easy. My first patient was late, needed an interpreter, and ran into some insurance problems during registration. So I was an hour behind schedule by the time my first visit started.

The day only went downhill from there.

I need a drink. Fortunately, I have one. Hope you do too. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I love you all…

I'll say one thing for Pam Bondi:

She sure looks the part. Put her in an SS concentration camp guard uniform, and she would blend in perfectly.

That pinched, scowling, bitchy face. It’s a role she was born to play.

And let’s hope it gets her hanged, like her heroes…

I've never needed a drink more than I do right now.

Having a smoky Martini. Gin, single malt Scotch, and a dash of dry vermouth.

Mrs. Aristus is here, so I’m not going to go all-out, full-bore, balls to the wall drunk. But I sure want to.

I don’t know how much longer I can go on with things being this way.

Friday Night Gin Buzz.

Two shots to get the party started. Now, an old favorite: a Delmonico #1; gin, cognac, sweet and dry vermouth, and angostura bitters. Yummy!

Hope everyone is home from work and cozied up in your pajamas, feeling fine.

Here’s to a relaxing weekend.

I love you all…

Speech by Herr Garbitsch from "The Great Dictator"; sounds an awful lot like Stephen Miller.

"Victory shall come to the worthy. Today, democracy, liberty, and equality are words to fool the people. No nation can progress with such ideas. They stand in the way of action. Therefore, we frankly abolish them. In the future, each man will serve the interest of the State with absolute obedience. Let him who refuses beware! The rights of citizenship will be taken away from all Jews and other non-Aryans. They are inferior and therefore enemies of the state. It is the duty of all true Aryans to hate and despise them."

Enjoying a Chambord Bramble tonight.

About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.
