Nikispeak – Zing!!

Last night, since I was not traveling, I went up to Niki’s bed when she was ready to retire to talk to her for a few minutes (and tickle her ears – even as a kid, that was the surest way to get her to sleep) before she went off to her deep slumber. In a misdirected attempt, I started with a really cheesy joke. (All my jokes are that way – which partially explains my cholesterol issue 🙂 ). Since she completely ignored me, I continued with that “Did you get it? Did you get it?” thing. Which, I have been reassured by all and sundry to be more irritating than the joke itself.

She opened her eyes and sternly replied “Getting it was not the problem, father!”

ZING!!!

Royters News – Microsoft

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella reportedly said that there will be “new battles in stores” in an interview yesterday.

And my first reaction was “What? People are already fighting outside the stores for the new iPads?” 🙂

Nadella maintained a studious silence when asked in a follow up question regarding what kind of respectable distance was Microsoft planning to watch the battles from. 🙂

Now, that is “good karma” 🙂

From the bartender’s corner – The Bone

This is a perfect drink for a cool Fall evening – especially with the bourbon and the tabasco sauce in it.
This is a shooter – so served in a long shot glass. Naturally, one has to pace the consumption properly.
I thought the name was appropriate given that Halloween is approaching us….

Bourbon, lime juice, sugar syrup and a couple of drops of tabasco sauce.
