Found out this morning that my mom died. She was dead for at least three weeks before anyone found her. Mental illness, left unchecked, destroys everyone and everything in its path.

My 10yo told me that he's totally prepared to wear a mask at school because whenever someone farts everyone already pulls their shirt up over their face anyway 😂
Today I made my own simple syrup for the first time.
Today I juiced my own citrus and separated my own egg whites.
I really wanted that proper whiskey sour.
A well made cocktail is a joy, both to make and to enjoy.
Good ingredients are everything.
Today is Pearl Harbor Day. My grandparents' generation was called upon to go to war, ration food, put up blackout curtains, and more. Distilleries switched to ethanol production for the war effort. You're being asked to wear a mask and watch Netflix. Do your part.
I want all of you to know that I have survived this day. It wasn't pretty but I'm ok. Thank you for all the kind words and dog and cat pics. I still have some hard days ahead, but the hardest one is behind me.

On 11/14/20... I shared my story about my dad’s last bottle of bourbon that he opened before cancer took him in ‘92 when I was 10 yr old. The bottle was Maker’s Mark. I am extremely humbled to receive this letter in the mail today from Rob Samuels. Extremely humbled.
It was suggested to me yesterday on LinkedIn that requiring a whiskey producer to print the state in which the product was distilled and what legal style of whiskey is in the bottle might be burdensome.
Reminder that it is not required to be printed in blood.
I just drove by an active shooter situation in Louisville. I've learned that 8 people have died. It was very close to

. What a terrible tragedy. I hope everyone at the distillery is ok 🙏
I'm told it's National Bourbon Day. Raise your hand if you've forgotten what days are and you basically still think it's January and just unusually hot.
