Let it be known that I switched to Christmas music today for my morning routine, but before that I was enjoying the musical stylings of Joshua Radin whilst brushing my teeth and what not. Simple Times is an awesome record to pick up for yourself or a good friend. I also recently purchased Missy Higgin's On a Clear Night for the super girly side of me. The first track makes me cry, and the rest of the album is pretty good, but I am of the belief that she's trying to sound too much like Alanis Morissette.
Walker's Deluxe Whiskey
This paragraph is the story of the aforementioned spirit. My Grandma Mac has drunk Walker's Deluxe Whiskey for who knows how long, and two years ago finally finished the last drop of the bottle she has had for many years (she's not a heavy drinker). This whiskey was actually discontinued in 2001. I have spent approximately 9 hours in the past two years searching the Internet for a spare bottle and have come up with nothing. My mother has done the same thing. I have only found one bottle on the Internet from the fifties for $165.00; I'm not paying that much. Last Sunday with blood-shot eyes from searching the night before I was telling the story about the elusive whiskey that no one seems to have to my father and step mom . In the middle of my story my dad stands up, walks in the other room, and brings out a full bottle of Walker's Deluxe Whiskey that he has had since my parents were married. He had bought it in case my grandma ever came over to our house and wanted a drink. It was a Christmas Miracle! I plan to break it out on Christmas after most of the family has left and have a whiskey and water with her as the night grows still from the hectic day.
On a braggart's note: My low tech self got a new LG Dare for Christmas, and Matt got the new Blackberry Storm. He named mine Pepper Potts and his Alfred because he thinks he's Batman and Pepper Potts is awesome.
Enjoy the season, Chicago and beyond. Hopefully I'll be able to join you soon!

I don't know what an LG Dare is, but I assume it's something like a Blackberry? Very cool either way. I like Matt's nicknames for them.
Hope you guys aren't completely snowed over as we are, it's nuts up here.
Wish Matt a Merry Christmas from me, and Merry Christmas to you!
Say what you want about vintage spirits, there's nothing like moonshine from your own still.
P.S. you just gave away Matt's secret identity.
Good Blog, I think I want to find me, I will tell my other friends, on all!
