The Chicago Tribune has an article today on sea salt (with a sidebar into the health benefits of wine).
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

If gin were invented today, would it still be called gin, or would it be just another flavored vodka?
Aha! I just addressed this the other day when I noted the difference between distilled gin and compound gin. Bombay Sapphire is a compound gin, which means that technically it is juniper flavored vodka. Tanqueray is distilled in a large copper pot, so it is Actual Gin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gin is ASS. And not in the good way.
Please, meeting, get to my part. And let me speak well when you do.

Sea Salt: Health benefits, NSM. Taste, definitely a difference.

I had the rudest guest over for a game of BSG last night. Among other things, they brought their own gin, which was an Old Tom Gin, i.e., a gin with malted barley aged in oak. All I could think of was, "If I wanted scotch, I'd be drinking it."

I need fashion input from the board.
I'm going down to LA in late May to do my annual Tom Waits bus tour. I've decided to invest in a Ben Sherman mod-styled shirt for the tour. It's casual but nice and distinctive.
Here are the choices:
Romford in Acidic Blue (I'd call that sky or Pan Am blue.)
Also, Tom Scola needs this jacket. It's Scola-esque!
I like this jacket too for Tom.

Turtles all the way down. One has to love it, when it doesn't make one want to head-desk into eternity.
Okay, I'm off to buy gift certificates for the office managers, since our actual supervisors completely dropped the ball. Oy.
