I'll be around until mid- day Monday, Carol, although as I said before- I'm just not much of a drinker.

The problem is all these new-type drinks that go down so easily... when I was growing up, you were expected to drink your whiskey neat... bloody marys (or even ice in your bourbon) was for sissies! :lol:
In retrospect, I begin to realize why people back then would have one or two at most and then quit for the evening...

I didn't quite get the meaning of this post!
Yep..My Grandfather almost beat me once when caught me mixing CC & GingerAle..In his book it was served 2 ways, neat, over ice with water( very little of both)..
CC and ginger ale was my very first alcoholic drink, I believe. It was so *easy*... basically, cheating. Someone once pointed out to me that really, you should drink rye straight and I just stared at them. People drink that stuff by itself??? At that point, to my untrained palate, rye was something very much like what you poured off lab specimens...
Your grandfather would probably have been horrified to learn that you can now buy `single barrel' ryes for around $70 a bottle... boutique ryes, for heaven's sake???
Grandfather lived well into his 80's and could out drink any college powerdrinker..

Sounds like he would have gotten along well with the loggers up here. Spent some time working at one of the logging camps and when those guys open a bottle, they throw away the cap with the exclamation "We'll not need that again!" never seen a new bottle opened without that being said, and meant! Shoot, up there glasses are for sissies.
Wish I could get over to the Meet & Greet, but that is the week-end before our vacation to Michigan and I will be up to my eyebrows getting ready to go and get the camper set to go.
Wish you could make it too..Take came of the family needs ..
I've always suspected that a reasonable amount of very strong waters is an important contributor to longevity... it's death to nasty microbes, eh!
The loggers I knew on the Queen Charlotte Islands on the northern British Columbia coast were like that. It's a hellish job, and a lot of those guys suffer from bad chronic pain from years, or decades, of rattling their kidneys out of place with huge chainsaws, and the inevitable logging accidents that kill and maim dozens a year and do serious damage to hundreds more. Anything that dulls the pain is welcome out in the bush there....
Too bad you're not going to be able to make it, Scott. Maybe next time?

Next years I'm hoping to make earlier in the summer. I've also got a rate from the hotel for the large conference room (holds 100 people) that isn't bad. It's just the deposit, getting insurance for the event etc that'll be a challenge.
I hear ya Bob...Father Greek and I went through that when we were attempting to secure space for our seminar...Watta pain...
