In the "it doesn't get much better than this unless my buddies were here to share it" category, I give you a Moloko Milk Stout from Three Floyds by way of our man Jim, along with a grilled steak and cheddar sandwich and peppers, all while listening to music and playing hooky from the office. Thanks for the effort, Jim. I toasted you and the Fourth Floyd (Mike) so I hope your Fridays have a moment or two of joy as well. Cheers !

Brave move, Shelly, and it seems like the right one. Best of luck in advance, and make sure they don't give you some meds that prevent you from cocktailing for too long! I gotta admit that taking one Naproxen last night and one this morning is already showing some positive results. The fact that I really need to move shit back to SF isn't going to make this any easier/smoother, but I'm trying to keep it to a minimum for now.

What do you think of my Malibu persona?

Sounds great, Ian, glad you had fun even at the cost of lack of sleep! I have two shows at much more civilized times this weekend. Tomorrow night we are seeing Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau dueting, and Mikeymad will be joining Claire, Alden and me. Sunday night is Jim Hall Quartet celebrating his 80th birthday. Grahame and Joanne are joining Claire and me for that one, so it is a Head-Case SF Jazz weekend!

Edradour 10 Signatory.

Sorry to have missed you, Tom. We liked a lot of the same rooms at the show. The only Lowthers I saw sounded horrible, but I doubt they were field coils.

Who is this Sherry?

Quite a display of power tonight Mikey! The Aviation with lime instead of lemon is very nice. Next up, a Lot B Old Fashioned to drown my sorrows over the Rangers coming back to win in the 9th. And Griottines will be my next cherries because I don't like Luxardos.

Aviation de l'Heure de Violet Fantastique!

Boot Full Of Meat has got to be my favorite. Maybe Shelly should just borrow Larry's sword cane in case she comes across any turkeys hanging from meat hooks while convalescing.

Well, I can't say I'm all that certain what is going on with my hip after seeing the doctor. She seemed pretty certain it was trochanteric bursitis but then switched to gluteal tendonitis, even though she wasn't certain that pain both in the groin and on the opposite side of the hip could be caused by the latter. She said that some anti-inflammatories would be the first step in either case. I guess I will see if this does anything, and it is going to really hamper moving into the house if this remodel is really done this week.

Not bad. More like $46 round these parts. I don't think I have tried that expression, although I was on a Glenmorangie kick years ago after touring the distillery.

^Nice. Not my favorite, but always soothing to listen to I&W. Honey Ear Trio -- Steampunk Serenade Free streaming from this cool site: http://honeyeartrio.bandcamp.com/

That is where I saw it as 4.2 a couple minutes ago, so they must have revised it.

Yep, I would prefer to do it that way if I can shut off their wireless and just route from AEx. Another question. Do I want/need the most recent AEx in order to have two networks (e.g., internet and music) or will the fact that the important music access should now be over CAT6?

Just had quite a jolt from a quick earthquake. Unconfirmed magnitude 4.2 centered in Berkeley. Hopefully it won't amount to much because today is the 20th anniversary of the Oakland-Berkeley Firestorm.

I want one! It's ironic and shit.

I've been damn curious, but I use Chartreuse in cocktails and do not drink it neat as an aperitif/digestif so I tend to think it would be a waste for me.

They carry it at Cask in SF. Just sayin'

I made an appointment to have my hip looked at today because it was so uncomfortable last night (and right now).

Yay Kerry!

I love kitteh fails!

You're a 99er, aren't you!
