I can’t remember the last time I had some scotch. I used to drink mine neat. On a whim tonight, I bought one of those $1 airport bottles of Danfield’s Private Reserve 10 year old Canadian whisky. Wait a darn tootin minute. This is a blend! Well, regardless, mmmMmmm. The aroma is like perfume under my nose. Sort of caramelly with a sharpness to it. To do nothing more than touch the liquid to my lips produces a warmth in my gullet. The initial taste is like liquid candy. The mouth has a burning sensation as if it was holding a fireball candy. The aftertaste lingers with sweetness. Whisky has a calming affect on me. I remember why this was a favorite of beverage of mine!

Words of Wisdom
If it has happened in the past and is unlikely to happen again, just don’t talk about it. Nothing good can come of it.
Starbucks, please improve your gift card
I’m staring at that container of contaminated coffee grounds trying to calculate the odds that it contains cyanide or razor blades or spit or roach eggs or something equally as horrible. I could easily join Futurama’s Fry’s 100 cup coffee zen state right now. That would be awesome! But, really, that is not an option. The right thing to do is returned the damaged container to the store.
Starbucks needs to improve their gift card. Right now, you can add money to the gift card which is cool. But others need to be able to add money to the gift card! How much cooler it would be to have a "Gimme Coffee" button on a site instead of a Paypal button! So Starbucks, if you are listening, please change your gift card so that people from the Internet can put more money on my gift card. Thanks!
Update: My wife put this idea into my head and email the suggestion to Starbucks.
Oh no! Dizzy-free no more?
I have spent so much time without a dizzy spell and I have had such a wonderfully relaxing weekend. Why now do I feel a dizzy spell threatening? I need sleep but I have obligations that must be met first.
Elkmont was wonderful!
I’ve been sucked into the computer almost as much as Jeff Bridges. Worse yet my coffee grounds have run out. I almost canceled on the Boy Scouts this weekend but that is a commitment just as strong as my commitments to my clients. And I have one! I have work that must be complete by the morning so I went by Sam’s and bought enough coffee grounds for 360 cups of coffee! (That should get me through the night!) Unfortunately, when I got home and took the lid off, the safety seal was not correctly secured. The tab usually used to open the seal was folded under so this looked like a manufacturing defect. I know bad people have put bad things in products in the past but I really doubt this coffee is tainted so I was tempted to use it. What I don’t know, is how long the product sat in storage and shipping. Coffee deteriorates quickly so I’ll return it tomorrow but man I could use a pot of joe right now!
Update: Folgers is sending me coupons to replace the coffee I purchased. They implored me to disposed of the grounds. Now I have to find something creative to do with the grounds. Instead of returning it to Sam’s Wholesale Club, I am to wait 2-3 weeks for the coupons then I can get more coffee. Hmm. Btw, if you call their 800 number, they’ll happily send you coupons and samples.
Should my feelings be hurt?
Should I celebrate my son’s confidence in himself or should my feelings be hurt? Every time a Boy Scout outing comes around, I ask my son, "do you want me to go on the outing?" You know.. maybe having dad around is uncool then again maybe having dad around is fun. His response? Flatly, "I don’t care." And he really means it. I’ve read about helicopter parenting and I don’t be that. I know as parent you can’t be the best friend either but I’d like us to have fun together. Don’t get me wrong, I think we have good times. I get excited about spending time with my children. I just wish they’d share some of the enthusiasm.
My Wife’s Got Style!
Yesterday Cathy appeared on WBIR’s Style. She was interviewed a month ago or so. They edited their story very well! I really enjoyed watching Cathy, Dr. Helen, and Katie Allison Granju talk about blogging. Read WBIR’s style story on Local women share their lives one post at a time and watch the video interview. The interview includes Katie Allison Granju, Dr. Helen, and Cathy. I really thought Cathy looked great! She saw it a little differently.
How many days I can live today?

What do programmers do?
Word problems! Programmers solve word problems.
My challenge is that I have sales people with base locations. Their territory allows them to sell a handful of products but each product can be sold a certain distance from their base location. Product A is eligible to be sold within 10 miles of base location product b 30 miles and so forth with product f being nationwide.
I have to create an interface which allows the end user to say "I’m here and want product ___" and then I show them all the qualified sales people who can get that product to them.
The program should also read the user’s mind so that the dropdown of regions will only show regions that sales people can actually get products to. The mind reading has to happen since product f is nationwide all regions should always be listed…well…unless the user wants product a….
That’s programming!
