drinking a manhattan on my first patio night of the year

sneaking up on 11 and it's 55 with not even a light breeze. i feel like a million bucks sitting out here right now.

of course, those of you here in colorado know we can still get feet of snow before it gets warm for real.

What kind of bitters do you use? I can't get anything other than angostura around here.

We had our first deck night in March--but it was 28 degrees here yesterday morning. Still going
back and forth with is it spring or almost summer or still winter weather. We've actually had
the a/c on here--crazy, crazy--and I keep having to switch the thermostats from heat to cool
to heat. Currently on heat!

Glad you enjoyed your evening!

I went to bed early...and when I do that can't sleep past 5 am--or in this case, 4 am.

I'm a night owl. Will head for bed in a bit, and probably sleep til noon.
