I'm tickled to hear AmyLiz is enjoying herself in fair SF--how not, with such lovely hosts and tour guides? The haircut and color are faaaabulous!
I'm sorry to hear about Suzi's vertigo and Ginger's lack of bubblewrap issues. You'd think medical professionals would be able to diagnose and fine tune a whole lot better than they seem able to, given their income is significantly higher than most foreign car mechanics, and the job not that much different, you'd think.
I polished off the last of a bottle of 10yo Glenlivet we'd had for 10 years and it was num. Unfortunately, I can't afford a bottle of 18 yo Glenlivet. Nor do I want to buy a bottle of 10yo and wait. Again. Have settled on Balvenie, in my sojourn through single malts, and is very very tasty. 10yo LaPhroiag, tragically, is going begging because PTHTAH! nasty. I miss my Glenmorangie, actually, but finding the "ordinary" is more difficult now that the distillery is putting up "sherry cask", "Madeira cask", "double-oak cask" girly stuff. Just throw a nosegay of potpourri in the vat and call it good, okay? And gimme the standard stuff. DH is still holding out for Isle of Jura and Aberlour, but I figger I can lace his Crown Royal with a tot of honey and get the same effect for cheaper.
Right?

If it helps, the meaningful sort of aging stops once it's bottled -- the key to the 18-year is the 18 years in the cask before it's bottled, so if you like the way your 10-year tastes, go on buying the 10-year stuff for way the hell less than the 18-year-old.
Also, if you need to get rid of the Laphroaig, I believe you know where I live.
Ooh. We need to do that book-signing thing ere long, don't we? I'll bring it along. Yay! Someone to love it. Makes me happy.
Belated Happy Birthday, Nora!
Please let this flight board at some point soon.
I feel bad for ND. When we travelled to Hawaii, not only did all our flights board promptly, we actually arrived on time or EARLY (coming home both flights!). I have no complaints about Continental's service.
I got the worst combo today, my flight to Dallas arrived early and my connection is running late.
My flights to and from Seattle last week were on time.
Cass, AmyLiz and all the localistas ROCK like a rocking thing that rocks!!! We had a lovely brunch and visit. Darling Matilda is such a love. Am now home, exhausted, but happy for the day.
ND, may your last leg be pleasant, and your hotel bed soft n comfy!
