Sometimes, on weekend afternoons, when Megan’s out at the movies with her friends, I really enjoy having the house to myself. I used to get lonely, but now being alone is just a time for reflection. I’ve got all the cleaning done and now, as Nana used to say, “the sun is below the yardarm, why don’t you fix me a highball?”
My favorite drink right now is Old Rip Van Winkle rye. They make an excellent bourbon too, but the ryle is amazing: it’s softened with age like bourbon does, but it’s still a richer flavor. I use a less expensive whiskey if I’m mixing Manhattans, but this is perfect neat.
