Renee didn't like her first choice, "the blue one." I don't remember what it was, but one sip was enough for her to know she didn't like it. Coincidentally, one sip of my espresso martini was enough for her to know she did like that. Very much, actually. "The blue one" was promptly abandoned and Renee received her own espresso martini minutes later.

For the record, here's the description of a Mr. Howell – I'm not sure of the provenance of "blended scotch" or even what Falernum is, but...rum. Yeah, rum pretty much goes with everything.

Today was a long day, but a great one. After the trip to Columbus and back, Renee had her annual back to school party for faculty and staff. It's always a great event and gets us out in downtown Toledo, which is fun. Afterwards we stopped into our favorite restaurant, Registry Bistro, literally two minutes before they closed and asked the bartender if we could sit for just one round. She was wonderful, and obliged. So, we had a round with friends and had some wonderful conversation in the process.
I opted for a mixed drink - a "Mr. Howell" as it's known. Turns out rum and "blended scotch" is pretty ok, as our good friend Richard would say.
