Just finished reading/editing my student's PhD thesis, yay (the defense is tomorrow)!

Heh, I guess that drink would turn you into a Zombie with both W&N and S&C. What about the Coruba? Nice drink Al and, of course, the kick of gin is approved here.

^That looks tasty!

Happy Birthday!

I hope you don't have the weight of the world weighing down on you (since you didn't add a splash of rye). My link

Stag's Leap makes some nice wine.

Nice view Ken! Good luck with the sale.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks, me too. At least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now it is sleepy time. Nice drinks Al. I would have to agree that that the CR #2 is better (I mean, it is awesome and #1 doesn't sound as awesome or as corpse reviving).

Happy Birthday!

Why the radio?

Hubby's feeling a bit better today and my guest left this morning, so I am "relaxing" and having a Manhattan (with a dash of cherry bitters) while reading my grad student's PhD thesis.

How do you like the Miller's Al? I would still like to try it. I have been really busy (with work and playing nurse) so haven't been doing much drinking or mixing. I decided to pour a light drink, Aperol and sparkling water. After having poured the Aperol I realized I was out of sparkling water so I used 7-up instead, it is aweful, don't try it.

Mike: You mean they won't let you wear those in the office? We are not even required to wear shoes. Dinny: Awesome! I am loving the Tristar.

Happy (very belated) birthday!

Another pair? Cool.

It is not that I didn't like the XDA-1, it just made it even more difficult for my husband to watch the tv upstairs. I don't listen to music all that often upstairs (especially in summer) and never do any critical listening (usually I am just working with music in the background) so I thought I might try out the Touch.

Heard that is supposed to be decent, worth trying?

Yes, itunes + apple lossless.

Sent back the Emotiva DAC and got a Squeezbox Touch and Squeezepad! Totally awesome is the phrase I would use to describe it. It is much more responsive than the Airport Express. I planned to use the built in DAC with the Audioengine A5 speakers since I heard it was decent. I haven't tried that out yet though. Now I just need to get two more, one for my main rig and one for the tv setup.

Greg, I like Hop Stoopid but you won't like it.... as you might imagine from the name, it is stupid hoppy.

It is always useful to have a few silver daggers around the house.

Water. I am too tired to make myself a drink... in fact, I am too tired to even type this.

Awesome! I spent 2.5 hours with the hubby today at the eye doctor (we were lucky to get an appointment at all before the weekend) and the eye doctor is pretty sure he has shingles and not just a normal viral infection... so I guess I don't have to invest in any silver daggers. It is good to have a little closure. Hopefully starting on the anti-viral meds will keep him from having any permanent damage to the eye (the shingles seemed to have not affected the actual eye yet, just the area around it). Phew.
