Football or not

Penning a two page letter to a dear friend explaining how I went from being a lover of American football to virtually completely avoiding it. How the statistics on violent injuries and how it has affected players’ lives after they are done playing is too mind numbing for me. This is while Super Bowl is going on right now…

Used a new pen that I got a couple of months back from China.

From the bartender’s corner – Oaxaca’s Guavarita

Tried a variant on margarita. First off, used the guava juice that Sharmila got. Still experimenting with it. Second, instead of Tequila, used Casamigos Mezcal. And finally, used kiln fired rock salt for the rim of the glass.

Wet the rim of the margarita glass with a slice of lime and rotate the rim on a small pile of kiln fired rock salt so a little of it sticks all around. In a mixing glass, put ice, three ounces of guava juice, one and a half ounce of mezcal, three quarters ounce of cointreau and squeeze a slice of lime in it. Thoroughly shake it and pour in the glass.

Ride to coffee

It was a cold day but the sun was out and the motorbikes have not been out for a week. A 70 mile round trip ride with a coffee break at Barrel House Coffee Company in Ballground. Caught up with Avi after almost a week.

I am getting old

Just the other day, I could do 10 milers at will. Today, wanted to go for half the distance. After 3 miles, I was too exhausted. I think I need to go back and run in a group. If the body does not permit, the mind can overrule. Running with company can give that strength…
