I survived my Birthday and St. Patty’s Day. Only to catch a freakin cold. I think it might be bronchitis. Lovely. Freakin Lovely. Well at least I have some medicinal whiskey to help with my cold. Some hot lemonade and Jack Daniels. Just a touch of the whiskey though. Don’t want to get drunk with this cold. It’s not a good way to deal with it. But it just might work. Any way, if I don’t improve in a few days, I’ll go see my doctor. Can’t afford to be sick for too long.
My buddy Art came home this weekend. His dad was sick and needed to go to urgent care so I didn’t get to see him till Sunday morning. He took me to get a few things in Herkimer. So now I got coffee for the rest of the month and then some. Speaking of coffee I need some, my cup is empty, so T T for F’n N.

A little black labeled bottle.
I know, let’s talk about something I haven’t talked about lately. Bourbon. Well at least Jack. I know, it’s technically not bourbon, but is made like bourbon, except for the charcoal filtering process. I had a few of them yesterday, on my birthday. Yes it still tastes as good as I remember. I just love the feel of it in my mouth as I swirl it around. It’s that perfect kind of feel; you have to have experienced this to know what I’m talking about. The taste is unmistakable. Sooty, kind of dry, yet a nice finish. Yum. I’ve missed that taste and that lovely whisky buzz you get when it rushes to your head. But I must say that after not having any “mash” in quite a while I was surprised that I didn’t choke on the fist sip. Guess old habit die slowly.
Mark gave me a small bottle of Jack for my birthday and we had a nice toast to my elderly statesman form. (Now that’s a bunch of crap, statesman, Ha Ha) Yup another year and you can call me am old fart… Be careful of the Fart …Ha Ha!
Gees something else I haven’t talked about lately is a good cigar. Well I haven’t had one lately either. But again, Mark a week or so ago gave me three cigars he picked up when he was in Florida. I have them in a nice humidified state till the weather gets nice and I can go outside and smoke one. Most likely not. I like to breath more then smoke a cigar but maybe when my bud Art comes home in the summer, we can smoke one…
Speaking of Art, he’ll be home this weekend. He might have a present for me. A bottle of Green Label Jack. If not, no big thing. We’ll just have to finish off my little bottle of Jack.
Ta Ta For F’n Now

Guess what today is?
Ahhhhhhh.!!!! The coffee is very good today. I cleaned the pot and everything. As well as the kitchen. The rest will wait till this afternoon if I’m inclined to… And today is the birthday of a great man. Me… Ta Da…! Yes, I’m one step closer to being an old fart…
Well one good thing, today the sun, yes the bright yellow orb, is shinning brightly this morning. Quite a change from the normal birthday. Usually it’s snowing and blowing and just a miserable day weather wise.
Don’t think I’ll go out and celebrate too much. I just don’t do hangovers well anymore. Besides, I don’t have the money.
I had my regular doctor’s appointment on Monday. I had blood work taken last week. I guess I’m going to live at least another year. Everything was good. Blood pressure was great, blood work was fine, cholesterol was good, blood sugar was good. The only thing was my blood count was high. What else is new? If it gets above 60, Dr. Butala will draw of a pint. So I guess I have something to celebrate.
Well ta ta for now………

A mystery
I Guess I’m a mystery…
The last test Dr. B. had done came back normal. Now that is perplexing. He can’t figure out why or what is causing my condition. So…. He just wants to wait and see how my blood work is in a few months. Ain’t that a kick in the pants…? Just like I figured. I’m a complicated type of guy, so I guess my blood is complicated. I guess if one of my counts gets above a certain number, they will draw off a pint and see what happens after that. Oh well…
I’ve been kind of lacking in my blog lately. I just haven’t had much to talk about. I could always talk about coffee…. Yes I bought a bag of hazelnut coffee beans. I brewed up a pot this morning. Not to bad. I only bought a half of a pound to try it out. They didn’t have any of my regular decaf, so I got that instead and stopped at Dunkin Donuts and got a pound of their decaf to try at home. I still have a few pots worth of beans from last month’s supply. I just love my coffee grinder. For me it’s just been the perfect gift. Thanks Art and Lynn.
It’s the birthday time of year for my family. My sister’s was last month, my dads used to be the sixth of this month. Mine is the day before St. Patrick’s Day. One of my best friends from my child hood is on the 10th and another friends is on is on the 18th. Happy birthday to Dad, Bob, Sue and of course my sister Suzie Q…. (I know she’ll hate me for the Suzie Q.)
Another big birthday last month was Tuckers. My sisters dog. He’s one years old. What a nut he is. Sue has a webpage on Dogster.com for Tucker. She has lots of photos and a journal for Tucker. In some of the photo’s, I can just read Tuckers mind, “Why, Mom Why do you torture me with these god awful costumes and hats…Let me be like I’m supposed to be, just my collar, I’m not one of those little lap dogs or those toilet bowl brush dogs. I’m a outdoorsy type of Manly dog. A manly man. If you want, I like that real cool bandanna you put on me from time to time. But stick the hats on your own head”…. Oh, by the way, I think Tucker likes Frosty Paws…
Well it’s about time to say bye bye for the day, so TTFN.
