Whisk[e]y-Case
It had been a while since I checked up on Black Bull. Apparently, the 30 year is no longer. Not listed on their current lineup and looks pretty scarce on wine-searcher. Wondering if I should have bought an extra to bunker, but way too late now. There are 2 new entries - a 21 year that was market-tested in late 2013 as a limited edition. Straight oak which is a shame as that now means there is no 100% sherried current production Black Bull. The other entry is a younger bottle called Kyloe. It's not age-stated and I couldn't find exactly what malts are in it beyond its description as "specifically speyside". Not even sure it retains the 50/50 ratio of grain and malt that the 12 year has. I bring all this up because Black Bull has returned to Illinois! Will hopefully buy a Kyloe and another 12 year when my budget starts cooperating .

Costa-fucking-Rica! Their #1 is named Bryan and I'm a sucker for massive underdogs.

We had an opportunity with less than 1 minute left in regulation to win, and we didn't. Not going to forget that for a while. As bad as being a Cubs fan in '03.

World Cup 2014
Yeah, hugely disappointing right at the end obviously but I feel good about our yanks. Felt like we really dictated the majority of the second half and had more control of the situation than we did against Ghana. The backups are stepping up and that's great to see both now and for the future.

Happy Father's Day to all H-C dads
Happy Father's Day everyone! Sucks that we're not in Illinois for either of our dads but timing is fickle.
