When is a Closed Road Not Closed? (Mark, pt 1)
Strap in for a five part extravaganza of classic cocktails, a cappella reminiscing, friendship woes, and professional wrestling. Yes, today we meet my friend Mark, whose heart and brain are exceptionally large and often in conflict. Wait, that’s me.
Yes, today we meet my friend Mark, whose self-flagellating Catholic guilt runs deep and contrary to his tendency towards myopic judgement. Wait, that’s also me.
Ahem…yes, today we meet my friend Mark, whose thoughtfulness is outshone only by his verbosity and tendency toward prepubescent boy humor. Shit…also me.
Okay, apparently you’re meeting me today. Have fun with that.
We begin with a discussion of “the facilities,” otherwise known as wherever I am with whatever I happen to have with a functioning microphone. This situation needs to be upgraded, and we’re certainly in the process of making that happen…one amazon purchase at a time. (Yeah, hey…take a look up there to the right of my head. See that “a” with a smile? That’s my amazon affiliate link. You can bookmark that, or just use it…and when you do amazon recognizes that we sent you and gives us a little monetary thank you.)
We continue with a Manhattan incorporating Wigle straight rye, a fancy French vermouth I found at the store, a Luxardo maraschino cherry (…there’s an amazon affiliate link for you…), and lemon rind.
We move through how Mark and I met, which leads us to a Sazerac incorporating Wigle “Absent Minded” (absinthe), Wigle straight rye, sage-infused simple syrup, Wigle aromatic bitters, and lemon rind.
Now sufficiently buzzing, we reach the question at the foundation of our endeavor, “What drives you to drink, generally…and what drove you to drink, specifically, today?”
Mark, ever the rule follower, noticed a “ROAD CLOSED” sign at the end of my street. (Water main leak/repair.) He parked in the Rite Aid lot and walked down…as cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and all forms of wheeled transportation ignored said sign and passed him on his ambulatory journey. Truth be told, I neglected to tell him about the sign to see what he would do…and I wasn’t disappointed. Listen here, and hear all about it.
We present to you, “When is a closed road not closed? (Mark, pt. 1)”
Oh…the music? Had to go full on a cappella…so, “If I ever fall in love” by Shai and, “Leave It” by Yes. Oh, and a Pandora 80’s station will be playing in the background, sometimes the foreground. Rest assured, I’m making no money off of “Easy Lover.” She’ll get a hold on you, believe it!
