- I’m sure that it was merely a coincidence that Irish Woman planned our little getaway so that we stayed at a lodge across the lake from Boo’s summer camp.
- Boo managed to lose his right sneaker, his right shower shoe, his wallet, and one of the badges he earned while at camp.
- That, right there, is talent, pure talent.
- I learned this week that I have developed expensive tastes. When presented with a flight of mid to high end bourbons, my favorite was the $250 a bottle barrel-strength selection.
- Contrasts in dining experiences:
- Tuesday night, we had cheap appetizers and beer in plastic cups while we fed bits of bread to ducks and turtles. We had to finish up quickly, because the dock-side restaurant was about to be blown away by the remnants of a hurricane.
- Wednesday night, we had dinner at a high-end restaurant in Louisville, with meticulously crafted pasta and sauce. Our dinner companions ranged from a middle-aged accountant with either a wholly improperly dressed daughter or a very well dressed trophy wife, along with the usual assortment of hipsters and retirees.
- Personally, I preferred the ducks and cheap beer.
- You know you’ve gone outside of the big city when you notice that all of the folks in the neighborhood have bear-proof trash containers.
- There are two kinds of people who guide you through a bourbon tasting:
- “You will notice that the nose of this single-barrel, small-batch bourbon includes caramel, charcoal briquets, and tooled leather. A small sip will bring you a spiciness on the front end, with sweet notes of cherry, vanilla, and and pipe tobacco. The finish is warm and sustained.”
- “Now, take a sniff of that glass in front of you. Good, huh? Take a sip, there, and roll it around a bit. You’ll taste the rye on the tip of your tongue, and the sugar in the middle. That baby will burn all the way down. That’s what we call the Kentucky Hug.”
