Saw Melanie today at our seven-years-and-counting Vietnamese restaurant. It may have been three whole months since I ate there, and it was a powerfully good bowl of pho.
An 11:15 arrival used to be early enough, but we had to wait today. 11 next time. (Melanie said “or 12,” but that’s ridiculous. I’m such a dainty little thing that I might pass out if I don’t take nourishment on a regular schedule.) We got to hang out with Tracy, the director of children’s ministries at our church, and her son while we waited.
And now it’s a little splash of Old Crow and a Star Trek movie. Productive but tiring week, and I embrace the weekend’s arrival. I hope you have a good one.

Mrs. BD was pretty horrified that you are drinking something called “Old Crow.” She has a bottle of Irish with your name on it…well, if your name was Michael Collins.
Old Crow bourbon is $17.45 for the 1.75l bottle at the ABC store, and if you’re mixing as opposed to drinking it straight or with a spot of water, I like it nearly as well as Beam or Jack. Hell, it’s hardly the rotgut I expected even straight up. It’s the best deal in the liquor store, man.
All of that said, I am definitely looking forward to my ongoing Irish whiskey education with Mrs. BD.
