If that diamond ring turns brass, Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke, Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull, Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turns over, Mama's gonna buy you a doggie named Rover
And if that dog named Rover won't bark, Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart falls down
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

designated times start TONIGHT.
Ooh, big move. I hope things go smoothly.
Sara, that song just lends itself to filling in. I do a crap job at it. You and Jesse are at least having good times.
I've had OK Go's "This too shall pass"
Now I have Gandalf yelling "You shall not pass!" stuck in my head. I should go and behold the marvel of my expanded TiVo. Because, uh, it looks all different and stuff. Not.
I have had Alison Karuas singing "Down to the River to Pray" stuck in my head for 5 days now.
Oh man, I love that song. A pretty good earworm there, as earworms go.
Champagne cocktail - sugar, bitters, champers, lemon twist. I prefer Peychaud's overall, but I like the anise flavor in it.
Our bar has a case of Angostura, and we don't even use it in any of our drinks right now. All the bartenders are eyeing that case for our own nefarious purposes.

Is the shortage over yet? I haven't been keeping up.
I should ask my neighbor for bitters recs. Last time I was over there we counted and he has 14 different kinds.
I always heard it as Diamond ring don't shine, and could never get any farther.
My earworm has led me to Dueling Banjos on youtube. The part where it sounds like Yankee Doodle on steroids is on purpose, right?

Nope. Probably not until the middle of the year. And it's only Angostura, but since that's the only bitters anyone had for a longlong time, it's kind of like losing a piece of history.

Gary Regan's orange bitters is very good. (It's not sweet like a lot of things being sold these days as orange bitters.) Peychaud, of course.
It's a good time to stretch out and mess around with some other liqueurs, like the all-spice dram.
I wonder if I can convince the fam to watch the Oscars Sunday night. Maybe.
Owen is reading the Rolling Stone review of Alice in Wonderland. He just told me Johnny Depp is in it and he's from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
