Bank of America
So I deposit the money for Operation Moonshadow in Bank of America on 11/17 and they hold it until 11/30, "because of the size of the check". What a scam!
~
IT"S MY MONEY.... NOT THEIRS!!!!.
~
I'll be pulling all of it out and finding a new bank as soon as this transaction is complete.

Pope's Trip
The Pope is visiting Turkey under great duress, to show respect for Islam. The Western-Communist confrontation has been replaced by Christianity v Islam. Just when you thought that the world could be a safe place, this ages old dysfunction surfaces.
~
I had hoped that the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the initial Gulf War had signaled an age when that world could be policed without huge threats and insecurities. Now, it is not major superpowers that threaten, it is small dissident have-not groups.

In retrospect, mankind has never had total security. There was always the chance that your village could be raided and pillaged by marauding outside forces. It is pretty much the same deal today on a global scale.

Clear the Decks
Passed up the trip to Seattle to concentrate on pricing in the office. It's time to revisit the classics and get grandular on the details. Have to point the Darwinians to the Promised Land.
Days Off
The problem with days off is that you get so slammed when you go back to work. It scares me how much I disassociate myself from my job when I have a vacation or a couple of days off like this Thanksgiving break. The returning workload then seems overwhelming. For this reason, I rarely take a vacation. The pain of returning is not worth it. Even simple tasks that I normally would glide over seem like a challenge when returning from a work hiatus.

Weekend Wrap Up
The Johnson Party was a blast. Saw Amanda and Jeremy, Ryan's Crew. I hate to name names because then anyone that I left out will send me hate email - always a downer. But there were a lot of my favorite people there.
~
This morning, I got up and took the clamps off of the floor boards on the Tender. I don't like the fit and will have to plane down one of the floor stakes.
~
Leftover Macaroni and Cheese for breakfast. I'm an idiot!
~
at 11:00AM, I will get on the Cybex for 1/2 hour then get ready to go to Gillette for the Pats-Bears game.
~
Ryan and Mike were offered the Darwin Box tickets by Frank Robinson in a transaction that I had nothing to do with. Nonetheless, Katelyn charged favoritism. Just accuse me of anything - I'll admit it and take the blame.... It's freaking easier. The game will be good though - even without Katelyn.

A Special Peep
I'm pretty sure that I have a few Brigit Pictures, but this is the only one I could muster for this emergency blog post. Shauer is a lucky bastard.
Saturday Night
Heading to the Johnson's for a Holiday party. I hope Jeremy and Amanda are there. Maybe Buck will show up
Favorite Winter Cocktail
I was surprised at the popularity of my favorite cocktail recipes.
~
The Summer Drink - Dark and Stormies.
~
The Classic Autumn Drink - Seagrams and Cider.
~
Now, hundreds of you have emailed me incessantly to reveal my favorite winter recipe. If I told you to get a life, it would do no good... obviously this advise is hopeless by evidence of your pathetic attention to this blog. Also, I have to be honest with myself. Who am I to tell anybody else to get a life, when all I write about is booze, boats and blogs? Enough of this insightful introspection of you and me.
~
What was I talking about?..... Oh Yeah - the Winter Cocktail. Here it is....
~
Once again, I have to establish the disclaimer that this drink in no way usurps Lagavulin, the King of Scotch as the ultimate preferred alcoholic repast. I don't want you to think that I'm cheating on the King. BTW, I've completely replenished my supply thanks to the kind folks (now POTW) who answered the bell at the Thanksgiving Eve Bash. After consuming one bottle, we have three left, which is my largest standing inventory of Lagavulin ever.
~
Now for the subject at hand....
~
The Winter Cocktail is as much about color and presentation as it is about drinking satisfaction.
~
Take a full bodied Scotch glass, and fill half full with ice. Cover the ice with Canadian Club
Blended Whisky. Fill with Cranberry Juice (stick with Ocean Spray). Garnish with a lime wedge. The lime is important. Don't make this cocktail without it.
~
That's it! The Winter Cocktail - CC and Cranberry! Your urinary tract will thank you. Enjoy in moderation and stop emailing me.

Now is the Time, This is the Place
Truer words were never spoken. What an opportunity! Everything that you've done in your life has lead you to this time and place right here and now. A place of power... a time of action.

Carpe Diem.
