"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”

If there was ever any question, I do love a good gin and tonic. I prefer them the way they make them on the other side of The Pond: the proper balance of Hendick's gin, crushed ice, and a few thin slices of cucumber at the bottom of the glass, then muddled. If absolutely forced, I'll take it with lime, but the Hendrick's gin is non-negotiable.
As I do every week, I read Gordon Byrn's blog. At the very end he mentions, "A three dollar pumpkin and a few bucks worth of candy is all it takes to make a bunch of kids happy." Great line. With investments tanking and the stock market falling wildly this week, many people I know are going into cash horde mode. This is a reasonable response. The odd thing is this: most of the things that bring the greatest amount of enjoyment in life are usually very inexpensive.
Last time I checked taking a nap is still free; a long trail run costs me about $2 USD in gas--excluding of course my fixed car payment; a grande coffee at Starbucks is $2 USD, and you get free wireless internet access for the price of admission; and to the Sky Shark's point, a fine gin and tonic consumed while watching the sunset--truly one of life's great joys--will run you about $3 USD, even if you are using Hendrick's. So things might be uncertain financially, the their is plenty of enjoyment to be had.
Namaste

Only the most discerning of palettes know about the unusual gin known as Hendrick's. "'It's just gin,' she said. (Oh how she lied.)"
