Agree about the Campari, Aperol just doesn't do it IMO.

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.
