This is definately something I want to get in on, if it’s not too much to ask from our beverage maestro. I just ask that it be strong and dignified. I try to avoid drinks that are less than 60 proof. * * * “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.” - Adam Smith ---

Many thanks, that seems right up my alley. You truly have a talent there. As today is the last day of class for the semester, I think I’ll be trying this tonight. Granted, I’ll be stuck with Jim Bean, as I’m currently out of Wild Turkey :(. ---

**water:** No problemo. Jim Beam and Wild Turkey are _both_ bourbons. {wince} If I’da known you were in school, I wouldn’t have given you a drink with Triple Sec in it (MY bottle’s gotta be about ten years old…it doesn’t come out much). Well, here’s hoping you develop a taste for **margaritas** and **sidecars.** ---
