We also don't need Risto to be Chara in order to be grateful he's on the team.

All things that improve in your L20s/E30s.

You act like he is some dolt incapable of learning. Late twenties/early thirties is when defensemen are who they are. Like Seinfeld said, I said it twice so you know I'm right.

26 is where I start evaluating defensemen. He has yet to be “what he is.”

Hydraphones.

Yep. 5th coach in 7 years, though,... just, ugh.

I thought the same thing. I’ve never been to Ted’s. Going to have to make it a destination the next time I get beck.

This album was a huge, HUGE influence on me. At 2:40 when she sings In the sticky middle of the nightSummer serenadeOf taxi horns and fun arcades Good lord. I was so into the rest of the band at that time I never realized just how amazing of a singer she was.

I’m just glad they didn’t shoot him.

Wife and I watched Catfish today. Awesome movie. Loved it. Kerr produced when called upon. That’s not a passenger.

Just found out that my next door neighbor lost his sister to the virus. He is supposed to return to work on Monday and absolutely does not want to.

Interesting. Lucky Day? I’ve had a couple of tasty manhattans in there before. Don’t really remember my walk back to our hotel, though.

Same price as the handles of brown booze that gets mixed with them.

I’m 50+ years old. I learned how to make a Manhattan in junior high. I’ve been a Manhattan drinker for as long as I can remember. I have never once eaten the cherry in my Manhattan.

These are the original, or so they’ve told me. Whatever. They ain’t cheap and they are worth every penny.

But ya gotta have these So nice I posted them twice,... apparently.

Maker’s isn’t the greatest. It’s just OK neat or on ice. I actually prefer VO, or Canadien Club or even 7 in a Manhattan.

I should probably confess that the last Bulleit rye I bought was a “handle.”

I used to to love that stuff, but La Camerena, I believe, got sold and the quality isn’t there anymore. It’s pretty harsh now. Evan is great, but it’s working man’s pour. It’s got a job to do. And it does it well. There are a lot of great gins (Bombay, Tangaray, Hendricks...), vodkas (Kettle, Sobieski,...) in handles. And I can make a Manhattan to remember with anything brown (you’re adding vermouth, cherry juice, and bitters ffs. Why would I use something super refined for that, other than I was trying to impress someone, I mean).

Handles are 1.75. you are dead to me.

Who buys fifths?

I know. That’s really cheap for WT101. A handle of that for me is $42 in NJ!

Would Buffalo be in this league?

I miss real hockey. I should be out in the Polish porch watching playoffs right now.

I don't know if there is anything more ban worthy...
