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…

...which was official at 7:27 Mountain Time this evening. We got married in Denver, shortly after I finished grad school.

It is -11 here in the greater Chicago area right now. The high was +2. I went outside only long enough to fill the birdfeeder.

Love you back!

It used to be one of my summer drinks. But it is appropriately matched for the times.

Have a good evening, and a safe weekend.

Tuesday it will look like rotted asparagus.

Cheers! 🍷 May the Bird of Paradise not fly up your nose!
