the weekend
Feb. 18th, 2018 10:41 pmSaturday morning we saw The Shape of Water. I liked it.
Then I drove to Chicago. I stopped at four stores and bought $1600 of whisky. That sounds like a lot, but I had a 15%-off coupon... so it's actually more than that. It was all for whisky tastings I'm doing, or for some friends. I hadn't planned on getting any for myself, but I saw a cute half-bottle, so I picked it up.
It was precipitating, so that made of kind of a long drive. There was snow before I left. Then mist, and as the temperature dropped it became snow, before quitting. In Chicago the sidewalks were covered with icy slush which turned to just plain ice.
Down there, I met Brenda. I picked her up and took her with me to a couple of whisky stores, then we had dinner, followed by whisky. There are some good whisky bars down there, and I always like to visit one. Usually Delilah's, but this time I decided to visit The Duke of Perth. Nice place. Cozy pub, good Scotch selection.
I got home at 1:00 am.
Today I spent a while totaling up my whisky purchases and letting people know how much they owe me. Then visited the Fermentorium for a beer before gaming.
