Sometimes it is in random moments that things said to you years ago make sense. For example, I recall once listening to my paternal grandmother complain about the address of her apartment in New York City. “I’m so disappointed in whomever picked the house number. Why 4709? It could have been named after a cologne!” […] This is the other bottle of whisk(e)y that I bought while in New York City last Christmas (see: 97, Bull Head Bourbon). Distilled in New York City – Brooklyn (King County) to be precise – Kings County Distillery is, apparently, the oldest (and largest) distillery open within the city limits: it was established in […] This Bull Head Bourbon, produced by the Lake George Distilling Company, is batch 62, bottle 95, bottled on October 24, 2019. From there, it was stuck on a truck and delivered, eventually, to a liquor store near Wall Street, which is where I purchased it between Christmas and New Year’s a few months ago. […]

At noon EST, 18:00 CET, we were at a US Post Office in Greenwich Village – my Sagittarius Amigo wrote seven postcards, but had […] This photo turned out to be slightly more problematic than I expected, to be honest – Sunday morning my Sagittarius Amigo and I took the Harlem Gospel Walking Tour from Harlem Heritage Tours. After an interesting hour long introductory talk at the offices of the company, we walked over to the Canaan Baptist Church of […] The duck led a happy life and, therefore, made me happy at lunch. At noon Saturday I found myself in the heart of New York City’s China Town eating Peking Duck at Peking Duck House.

He’s suffering from jetlag and, having had woken up at 03:30, informed me that USA Today was a terrible newspaper.
