If you haven’t seen it yet, this is a rather decent visual presentation of how things got bad.

There really is a site for everything
Ok, this is really just an excuse to put a link up here as I won’t remember it later, but I’m still amazed that someone actually does… pencil reviews. I shouldn’t be – there seems to be a site on the internet for everything.
Anyway, I’m mostly putting this up here to remind myself about it later. I’ve always wanted to know more about the different types of pencil lead and this guy seems to be a good source to learn.
Scotch tasting party
Kevin and I went to a Scotch tasting party. It was the first time I’ve had distilled alchohol. Kevin was more savvy and knew what he was getting into.
Everyone brought a bottle of whatever they felt like bringing, as long as it was single malt scotch. (Kevin brought a peated single malt Irish whiskey* (rulebreaker)). When all the guests were assembled and the knowledgeable host had sorted them by peaty-ness, this was what was on the table:
Glenmorangie
Dalwhinnie
Balvenie
Bowmore
Connemara (Kevin’s)
The Macallan
Laphroaig
*Scotch is “Whisky”. Irish is “Whiskey”. We think.
