Re: Brian Williams
An interesting piece in New York magazine about how NBC bigwigs tried to muzzle Williams before he hung himself -- or at least his career.

Which sex toy sent you to the emergency room?
I should probably do a poll on this, but I am afraid I would leave out some of the more interesting possibilities on the list.

Re: Brian Williams
I am assuming he's still drawing his $10 million annual salary, or $192,307.69 a week. Or, put another way, nearly four times the U.S. average median annual salary ($51.9k) in a week.

Okay, I am kind of the same way with Scotch. I do buy the some inexpensive stuff, but I've been keeping a $120 bottle of Highland Park 18 on hand in case of emergency.

Btw, for me, learning to live with it means spending as if I have a champagne budget.
Okay, spit it out... what kinds of champagne stuff do you buy on your beer budget?

Re: Cheap stuff that you like
I prefer Dewar's, Pinch, Famous Grouse and Johnny Black over single malt which,to me, tastes like medicine. .......... Try a Speyside single. Or if you can find it, a Lowland. If you like a light -- non-peaty -- single malt, I'd go for Old Pulteney or Glenmorangie, both Highland Scotches. Both are ...

Re: Cheap stuff that you like
yea, I can't stand the blends, which are almost always blends of single malts and grain whiskey, and the grain has utterly no flavor. It is just a way to dilute the the flavor out of single malts. JW Black might be the exception because I think it's -- unlike JW Red -- is a blend of malts, and it do...

I wonder which one I will like most while watching the documentary. I always preferred Siskel when the show was on. Ebert struck me as fatuous. Well, both, actually, only Siskel less so.

Rita -- I used to shop at Safeway all the time when I lived in Arkansas. I live in upstate New York now, near Albany, and we don't have them. We don't even have a Wegman's which is supposed to be an excellent chain, and it is based in New York state. Hannaford is HQd in Maine I think. Safeway is HQd...

Okay, this is a kind of spin-off of the "retirement" thread. I am on a quest to find less expensive versions of the good things I like. I am having a hell of a time with single malt Scotches. It would be great if I liked bourbon as well as I like Scotch, but I just don't. You can get good ...

Re: Retirement

And my youngest is going back to school to get her BSN to become a nurse. All three should do okay, so I know I shouldn't...
