  4. The Income Tax Cocktail

    For the first time in 9 years I am not filing an extension for my taxes. To say that I am going to need a drink tonight is an understatement. And this drink, a seemingly lovely blend of a Martini and and Martinez, seems right up my alley.

    Unless I go straight to 3 fingers of Rye. Neat.

    Jennie Wood sings, “Bitter Sweet”

    My former bandmate, Jennie, recording with the damn coolest Wendy Schneider. This has given me a swift kick in the ass. In a good way.

    I am grateful to have people in my my life who inspire me also be my friends.

  12. Happy National Tequila Day. Have a Paloma for/with me. 2 oz blanco or reposado tequila 6 oz fresh grapefruit soda 1/2 oz lime juice salt for rimming Or have a Jarrita. It is a Paloma with grapefruit juice and a little soda. I had a Jarrita last week. It came in an odd little mug. And although it felt a bit like a novelty Ozark Mountain moonshine jug I would have gotten at Silver Dollar City when I was a kid, all of my cocktail companions were very jealous. Salud!
