Drinks for the blues and other times as well

The ups and downs of the weekend were mostly of my own doing (in reaction to the storm that sent new york reeling for a little bit), as I was supposed to do a reading at a literary event this thursday.  Alas, with many reports on ground indicating that it would be foolish to return, and I looking with both eyes on the grim reports of transit and availabilities, it was with a heavy heart that I decided that to go would be too much of a hassle.  A damned shame, as I had been planning this for four months now, and had lists of places to go, things to buy, people to see (friends and family) as well as the event itself.

The small consolation is that I have three bottles of some nice drinks of the alcoholic variety (whisky, wine and sake all Japanese made) to warm me up during the next so and so days.

cheers!
