Corpse Reviver #2 To Die For

Food and Drink, Uncategorized /

Praise be to the few restaurants that retain the professionalism of yesteryear. El Gaucho in Seattle is one such establishment. The seasoned staff still don tuxedos. The service is excellent. The food is superb. The drinks are delightful.

We requested that Jay our bartender serve one of his favorites. Gin forward, Lillet, Cointreau, Absinthe and lemon juice. And that’s how we ended up with a Corpse Reviver #2.

Cannabis, Uncategorized /

We read that some surveys find older adults, those who are interested in cannabis, are more likely to seek pain relief than they are wanting to get high. Ah, the aches and pains of Baby Boomers. Well, whatever works. The boom in cannabis sales has certainly helped the aches and pains of state budgets where CBD lotions and potions are legalized.

Remember when we used to get high with friends and laugh and laugh? We don’t either.

Remember

Baby Boomers represent the 76 million people born between 1946 and 1964. The United States began to draft Baby Boomers into the Vietnam War in the late ’60s. The New York Times reports that 40% of males in the Baby Boomer generation served in the war. It’s estimated that 47,434 American fighters were killed during Vietnam.

Approximately twenty-one percent of male Baby Boomers alive today  are veterans.

We remember those today who made the ultimate sacrifice and thank the many Baby Boomer veterans for their service and sacrifice.

Bike Safety

Endorphins, Fitness, Good Clean Fun, Uncategorized /

Exercise the fun way!  Saddle up!  But safety first!  Let’s see I need my helmet (with blue flasher on the back and rear view mirror), florescent green vest with pocket for phone, padded bike pants for that firm saddle, bike gloves to keep the hands from going numb, Apple Watch to capture biking exercise minutes and miles, mask in case I need to talk with someone, glasses for eye protection, water bottle and Camelback for max hydration, bike shoes, sunblock, seat bag with mini first aid kit, and baseball cap for post-ride helmet-hair.  And….. we’re out of time.  Tomorrow we’ll get an earlier start.
