Frederic had mentioned that he was a fan of this drink, I've been meaning to consume more whiskey in general, and I came home to this after driving Husband to Logan to catch an early flight. That there is my workroom. Somehow the photograph does not capture the sheer amount of reading material one needs to wade through to get to my workspace. I don't know if the top bookshelf was a disaster waiting to happen, if there was cat involvement, or what... but it came down and took the lower shelf with it and now my floor is full of books. I was considering a nap when I came across the scene (aside from waking up so early, I'd only had five hours' sleep, maybe) but I was so annoyed when I saw this this I couldn't do it. Mind, I was too annoyed to clean up the damage either. Grr.

So yes, this drink? Is totally doing the trick.
