Good food and wine will get you part of the way at least. Any import shops for the brew and malt needs? It's good to have a challenge at hand. Good luck.

I knew it would work out, Tom, and happy to hear you like what you hear more already.

Woke up in Mayberry, sent daughter off to work at the cupcake shop, cleaned up from the construction dust and shifted furniture back, watched some Tour de France and World Cup, had lunch, went to SF with wife, son and 18yo French girl whom I have known since she was 5 or so, dropped dog in SF, checked French girl into her lodgings for the English language immersion program she starts Tuesday, picked up daughter, took short nap back at home in SF, went to dinner at a Japanese restaurant, watched Toy Story, came home, checked HC and made cocktails. Now hoping to hear music and chill but the Doshi seems compromised and the left channel is garbled and faint. Tube? Wait to tomorrow to figure out? Fuck. Better drink.

Jealous of grawk and his blue crab access. Best anywhere.

Lance made a very strong showing on the first day and I was thrilled that he beat Contador in the Prologue time trial. Especially given that the Wall Street Journal published the same Fuckhead Landis accusations on the eve of the race. Weak move by the WSJ But nice that Lance kept his composure and channeled the anger into riding strong. Psyched for the whole race!

Congrats Inu and KG!

Partagas No. 4 c/o Naaman. Tasty

Why so crappy? No weggy ebbY?

Hard to match with beer but probably the best chip evar. One of the few items I break down and buy from the snack machine at my office.

Perfect response.

Agreed. Indeed.

Jealous of your mood and your dinner. Keep up the good mood V. That's awesome. Hoping for a little lift back at work after my staycation.

I got wood looking at the beauty shot of the latest Cooter Creation. Really want to hear this one because I missed Frank's last two offerings.

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros -- Global A Go-Go (vinyl). Thinking of Stretch after watching and listening to the World Cup today. Thought I would fill the void with a couple likely selections if he were posting.

Housemartins -- London 0 Hull 4 (vinyl)

Many and multiple congrat to all of our successful up and comers!

Good choice on Hendricks and happy cocktailing! Very nice beer haul too. You must have a pretty decent beer shop because some of those aren't readily available everywhere.

Yeah, me too! I was listening when I got up early to drive my daughter to the ferry (she's such a hard worker for a 15 yo on summer break!) and at half time it was Brazil 1 - Holland nil and the Dutchmen sounded beat already. After breakfast I turned it back on and it was already 1 - 2 and I was shocked.

Yew can dew eet Inu! Beautiful work thus far, and good luck with the next steps.

It is a quandry, isn't it. @Mr. High and Mighty Mate of the Guy Eaten By a Bear: maybe you should try a Private Message if you want to direct something to Craig alone and you are so offended by someone gently commenting on the obscurity of your post with a simply Or, maybe you should just piss off.

Buddy Guy -- A Man and the Blues (Vanguard Reissue vinyl) Moody Blues -- Long Distance Voyager (jvlgato vinyl)

Another thing for MPI to try to investigate at the next meet/whisky tasting.

Bought some investment beer. Gonna hold onto it and let it appreciate. Until I get thirsty again.

Your paper money will be useless in the End of Days!

Rock star fucking move, Ric! You can be our tester/comparator between them. That is very cool.
