I’ve had worse and paid more but that’s as good a compliment as I can muster.

LOL...not exactly a ringing endorsement. I take it you weren't all that impressed "with the other natural flavors"?

A nice fresh cup of coffee

I had a small bag of tea in my luggage just in case.

LOL...Unfortunately, no; but, I do appreciate your tactfulness here, all the same. I've been misspelling it as "Duncan" my entire life, and seem incapable of correcting it--one of those life mysteries I've just grown to accept.

Interesting. I think auto correct is a bad idea... convenient for sure. But it trains people to ignore proper spelling. (Ignoring the american vs. international spelling differences) Same thing as the emojis.

People mentioning Starbucks here... just reminds me of a Lewis Black segment... Timmies is just as prevalent here... Once place I worked at had 6x Timmies within a 10 minute walk... truly horrifying.

I wonder why they don’t specifically disclose what they are.

Another less than ringing endorsement - this tastes just like everybody else’s oatmeal stout.

Celebration fresh hop IPA. Cheers

Glass of wine from a bottle of inexpensive Pinot Noir, compliments of the hotel. My business has concluded and I can now relax and just enjoy the time I have remaining here. I may just finish off the entire bottle before dozing off...

Loose leaf Oolong tea

Gatorade Zero Sugar - orange flavor

Large cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee with a dash of cream.

PS - I spelled it right this time and may have rectified one of my most often misspelled words of my life. Yay me!

Lol. One thing I do when I remember is try to clean the dictionary on my phone... As I type messages, if I see words that I would never use or are misspelt, I actually take the time to remove the word... It doesn't apply in your case as Duncan is a legitimate name, but gotta love auto correct.

As for what I'm drinking... Instant HK-style milk tea. Will graduate to macha tea a little later.

I just poured myself a cup of Chobani Oat Nog. I added a shot of Diplomatico Venezuelan rum. I sprinkled nutmeg on the top.

Its not my favorite rum, but I can’t imagine a worse drink. Vile says it in a word.

Oolong tea

Visconti Dec 20, 2021 5:10 am

Back from NYC, and have resorted to my customary morning Keurig, this time it's Peets Major Dickenson blend.
