Dude, I like a good Islay on a fall/winter night. Smoke and peat can't be beat! I was surprised the wife likes Ardbeg 10.

Oh, I had to switch to tea after surgery. I was a big coffee guy but now I can't finish a cup. Don't know why. Anyhow, I switched to an Irish breakfast tea for mornings and enjoy a Vietnamese Red tea and a Japanese smoked tea in the afternoon/evening.

And, yeah, it's nice at home on the weekends cuz the work week is sink or swim.

My wife is the tea drinker. We have a dozen or more loose leaf black teas on the counter at any one time. Coffee for me, but less and less all the time. There was a time if I didn't have my two cuppa's id be bonkers, now it's meh, take it or leave it. Of course, now that my figure skating daughter drives herself to the rink at 5:00 a.m. (after ten years of my chauffeuring) it's less urgent. So, a cup a day or less is ok by me.

Meantime, while waiting for those old fashioned's and puff pastries and ham, a handful of Dot's will do nicely. Slainte!

  Where does you daughter practice? Initially, my kids learned to skate at Fremont Ice.
  
  But then, in early 2015, my daughter (#18, in yellow) switched to Oakland Ice, because the hockey lessons were at a better time.
  
  When the pucks are put away, they can work on skating and defense. Above, the coach was instructing them to make themselves bigger, by sweeping the stick (while not committing a tripping penalty).
  
  And on this afternoon, my daughter got out of the hockey gear (well, most of it), and donned the figure skates.

    Shark's Ice, San Jose. 6 days a week. Well, until she was injured. Currently sidelined with severe torn ankle ligaments. Driving us all up the wall.
    
    Oakland could be such a wonderful facility, except for "the elements". Absolutely world class coaches there who can't get to SJ enough.
