Joe, one day I really want to meet you...........and one day you will reduce me to utter silence...............probably a very good thing!!
A tip of my hat to you!! The more I think I know bourbon, the more you cut me off at the knees!! You keep us all honest..........even as we (should I say 'I') persist in believing we know bourbon.
I love bourbon, Joe, I love talking about it, I love believing I know something..........all evidence to the contrary nothwithstanding.
I will play this game a while yet because I find pleasure in it, and, because I like the people with whom I am in conversation. I have always insisted that Barleycorn and I are full of shit..........and so we are!!
I will go on acting like I know what I am talking about because, in spite of everything, I still believe in myself when I am tasting bourbon and taking my notes.
In life paradoxes abound, making it all the more interesting!
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Dylan Thomas
