Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started.

Now, a concoction of my own invention: The Elvis. Two ounces of peanut butter whiskey and one ounce of banana liqueur, in honor of Elvis’s infamous fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

I added a dash of chocolate bitters for good measure.

It’s pretty good!

I love you all…

I'm thinking Election Night, about 6 pm. Don't want overconfidence to set in.

Took a 7 hour ride today to get my electric riding lawnmower that stopped working in June. I missed my Home Depot extended warranty coverage by 3 weeks. Bill - $540.00.

I'm drinking Alligash White IPAs tonight. Just glad to get home without further financial damage.

(My wife is attending a Dance Education conference, in Bellevue, through Tuesday.)

Sounds like a nice cocktail, the Elvis. Some rather ordinary red wine here, but nonetheless it’s nice to be off the road and in my sock-feet. Hope you are regrouping after the vaccine onslaught.

I’ve seen some Southern beauties who are totally wasted on rednecks.

My Dad was born and raised in Oklahoma. He couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Joined the Air Force at eighteen, and bolted.

14. What's a square root?

Every root I've ever seen is round - carrots, beets, radishes, onions, turnips, parsnips, taro, rutabagas, you name it.

Is this some kind of brainwashing thing?

think of your creation? In all fairness, I must admit that the first time I saw a bottle of peanut butter whiskey, my first thought was, "Damn, with my luck, they made it ith the chunky stuf!"

Which was your favourite Dame Maggie Smith role?

Real peanut butter has saltiness that cuts the sweetness. Maybe I’ll have to add an ingredient that makes it not quite so cloying.

Lady Violet from Downton Abbey is a contender. But her role in 1976’s “Murder By Death” takes it. Once upon a time, Maggie Smith was a hot young thing.

I hate peanut butter but I might drink it if it's in a good whiskey.
