This past Thursday was my birthday.
Rather than having anything big and formal or I invited a bunch of
friends over after work for beer and pizza and whisky.  It worked out
great and a fun time was had by all. Pixar folks and non-pixar folks
alike.  We managed to kick the keg of Sunny Day IPA (it was only 1/2
full to start with) and put a good dent in the other beers.  I recieved
some wonderful gifts, including hand-made cards from the kids next
door, and now my alcohol collection is even larger than before!

(more...)

I just got a page up about my whisk(e)y collection.
It's linked up top, next to  the Beer link. The page will display any
posts made to the site related to whisky (of which there's now ...
one!)

On there you'll also find a link to my old pages about my collection at
its peak just before I left Portland in 2002.  Comments and tasting
notes are welcome, so please register and post if you so desire!

I helped my friend Ben out with a server admin. issue recently and in return, I recieved a ThankYou of a bottle of 25 yr old Talisker single malt, from the only distillery on the isle of Skye.  I haven't opened it yet, but plan to on my Birthday in a few days. I'll report back about it, and give some background of my experiences with Talisker.
