Happy 4th to One and all!

I am back. I guess that is obvious but what can you do? I do want to take this opportunity to wish all my American friends and all those who sail in her a Happy 4th of July. Enjoy the holiday, though it falls midweek and fucks up any long weekend plans you may have. Unless, you work in the markets and have taken the week off, which is really what is happening.

That bit of pleasantry completed, it is time to get on with the show. We had a beautiful long weekend around these parts. Sunday was a bit cool, not killer cool, but with the wind, it was cooler than one would hope for July. Then again, the breeze blew in and cooled the house, which is always nice. I was also able to get good and liquored up, though not Friday night, when I needed it most. I know I went over that yesterday.

I think that I need a drink. I think that I need this drink on a dock overlooking the water. A large body of salt water, with sandy beaches, would be my first choice, though I would take a lake north of the city here as a second choice. Man, I have to live by the sea. Water is power and knowledge is power, so obviously, knowledge is water. Water is used well to "cut" less aged Scotch or as a chaser. Then, I figure that you can get smarter by drinking Scotch and water.

Then again, I saw that they were selling (only 6 in Ontario) this 33 year old Glen Livet single malt Scotch in these parts for Father's Day. I loved my dad, but I am not sure I would have paid the $800 for that bottle of Scotch. Then again, I have had 18 year old and 25 year old single malts and like women, they do get better with age. I really want to taste that stuff, though I do not want to pay for it. Ahhhh, there is the rub.

Speaking of rub, I have to run. Ciao!
