three things i enjoyed today which i have not enjoyed for a long time

1) jeans. i fit in them again. i'm down to pre-deadlift-push waist size. oddly, i'm way heavier than when i last wore these jeans. must be all the added beard weight.

2) muse: hullabaloo. i really really enjoyed this. muse is great.

3) lagavulin. chefjef asked me: do you like lagavulin? i said: lemme find out. poured 2 glasses and though i still think it's too thin-bodied for an islay, it has a tantalizing aftertaste: smoke without the sweetness of a smokey bruichladdich, and pure smoke without the bandaids and garbage of laphroaig.
