Blue Monday...

Largely sleepless night with a lot on my mind (almost all good stuff; don't worry). So, after doing laundry, crushing pills, prepping coffee, I settled down, Glenfiddich nightcap poured, to finish the blog.

Spent a long time chatting with my gal Effie last night. We simply chat, share music, when we can't be close. Felt really good to share that time with her, since we can't be together much right now due to our schedules.

Still dazzled by the great time I had with Effie at the 30th High School Reunion. It was a golden moment for both of us. The only two complaints I had were that the bar didn't have any single malts and the whisky was served only on ice. I mean, that's two sins at one bar! LOL! Moving on...
