A co-worker dropped a couple of bottles of Jefferson’s Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout by my cube a couple of weeks ago. This is a stout, aged for 60 days in Jefferson Reserve Bourbon barrels.

Yesterday, like most Saturdays of late, was spent in front of my Fedora 10 laptop, while the teevee was tuned in to NASCAR and/or NCAA Football. And both activities are enhanced by a cold one or two.

I’ve been pushing buttons, clicking mice, and typing in arcane crap from command lines for a good many years now. And today carried on that tradition. I was on my way to the bank to deposit some checks 1, with a trip to my franchise haircut place planned for afterwards. A ring [...]
I’d written earlier about a certain delicacy that I remember from my days on the Great Plains.
