Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots to get the party started. Now a Stout Sangaree. Stout, ruby port, simple syrup, and a pinch each of nutmeg and cinnamon. Yummy! Thick and sweet.

Relaxing after a long day in clinic…

I love you all…

1. Wish I could join you

Counting the minutes till I can pick up my son from the airport! So no drinks for me. Can’t wait to see him. This will be his last trip home as a single man as he will be getting married next weekend. Where did the time go?

3. One of life's markers. Good luck

[Chicagogrl1]

6. Thanks 😘

[Aristus]

7. I'll be thinking of you as I hoist for another sip.

Congratulations to your son. Many years of happiness!

[Chicagogrl1]

May you have a well deserved relaxing evening

2. Hope it went well . Cheers 🍷from the Oregon Coast.

[Aristus]

8. Enjoy!

The Oregon coast is beautiful. Cannon Beach is a favorite getaway of mine.

13. We always pass thru it.

4. Based on the first response to your thread,

you are obliged to inform us where the time goes, Aristus. This is something I will read with great interest because I have often wondered the same thing!

Have a great night!

[Aristus]

9. Time goes behind us, as it should.

It just goes there faster and faster as we get older. Makes one value the time while you have it.

[True Dough]

11. I'll accept this.

But what if I turn around? Shouldn't I be able to see all of my past life before me?

14. Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naugt, or half a page of scribbled lines...........

5. What vodka do you like?

I used to think it didn't matter much, but I had a New Zealand vodka recently that was weirdly heavy, almost sweet. Was glad to see the last of it!

[Aristus]

10. I'm on my second bottle of Ketel One in a row.

It’s one of the smoothest and east to drink vodkas. There are a lot of different brands that I like. But Ketel One is a stand-out.

17. Absolut was my standard for a while

Basic and on the dry side

[Aristus]

18. Excellent vodka.

I love all the different flavors. Absolut Pear is heavenly.

15. I always make sure that read your post on Friday to see what you're drinking. Jefferson's bourbon neat for me tonight.

[Aristus]

19. Sounds good!

16. I'm sorry to report

That I have left the 253!

We sold our house in Tacoma so we could live near my daughter and son in law. I will miss my morning walks with the dog an the view of Commencement Bay and The Mountain.

Cheers Aristus! Having a bit of Woodford Reserve myself tonight.

[Aristus]

20. Sorry to lose you as a neighbor.

I can’t imagine leaving my beloved Two-Five-Three…

[3catwoman3]

21. What is the 253?

[Aristus]

22. The Greater Tacoma region.

Our telephone area code is 253.

It’s local shorthand for our home. The way The OC is for Orange County, and so on.

23. Mine is what I'm calling a Gin Tricky

A gin and tonic with a fair amount of crushed fresh mint and some lime juice.

G&T mixed with gin ricky. It's quite tasty. It's only tricky if you overdo the gin.

I just have a large pot of fresh mint and am looking for a way to use it.

[Aristus]

24. Sounds wonderful!

Nothing beats are really good, aromatic gin.
