Sorry to hear about your mom Vicki. Definitely need a more piratey patch Mike.

If it's an either/or get the Cocchi.

Sierra Nevada Celebration in the hotel room.

You were born to be Santa. Thanks for sharing Wayne.

You're a lucky man Bryan. In the holiday spirit I made a Tom & Jerry Batter Separate 2 eggs. Mix the yolks with 2 tablespoons Demerra sugar and a pinch of freshly ground allspice, cloves and cinnamon until smooth and watery. Beat the egg whites until they peak then fold into the yolk mixture. The Drink Spoon two tablespoons of the batter into a mug. Add 2 oz Germain Robin Brandy and 2 oz Ron Zacapa Rum while constantly stirring. Top off with hot milk and stir until you reach the desired amount foam. Top with freshly grated nutmeg. Edit: I missed the Cobble Hill yesterday Marc. How did you like it?

Pork Roast with onions and peppers, sautéed new potatoes, Brussel sprouts in maple syrup glaze with pine nuts washed down with a nice Hefeweisen.

Happy Merry Birthday Christmas!

Happy Merry Birthday Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Now that the presents are wrapped and the stockings are filled, Santa is having some beverage to go with his chocolate chip cookies. The new cask is smoother and more complex but the aged cask goes better with chocolate chip cookies Merry Christmas to those celebrating and Happy Holidays to everyone else.

Yep, I was thinking that the logistics were worthy of almost any major military campaign. Good luck Wayne.

Happy Birthday, Ken! At least if I'm parroting I can offer you a beer.

While wrapping presents. Damn good.

A most awesome HC gift arrived today: Thanks Dan

We had predinner Vespers to help me forget my undeserved Yellow Card.

One for the Backwoods Bastard and one for the early vacation start. Typical soccer ref.

Congrats Raffy

^^^ Passive-aggressive bullshit. Interesting ...

Condolences to you and your family Mike.

That sucks Wayne. I wonder if the real Santa Clause practices voodoo? Just finished upgrading the Mac mini music server from 4 to 8 Gb. I can't believe I waited this long.

I toasted with straight Bourbon. What's that worth?

Excellent looking Manhattans John. A toast for peace during the holidays Mike B. Followed by a Greenpoint

Cobble Hill

Hope all gets better Mike.
