Ordinarily, I only have a drink or two on Fridays or Saturdays, but today was a LONG day with two kids bouncing off the walls.

I am celebrating the quiet in my home with a small glass of Lagavulin 16. This is my usual drink of choice.

I wasn't a scotch drinker until about a year ago. I was tipped off onto The Lagavulin, bought it, and it is the best scotch I've ever tried. Love the stuff! Usually pour a small glass every Friday and Saturday nights. No ice, just straight up. Love it!

I am enjoying my tap water from my faucet. I am not much of a drinker, an occasional beer or wine is enough to make me red face.


Cheers to you.

(By the way, one of my best friends loves the scotch more than I do and also lives in Irvine. In case you ever need a Scotch buddy or something)

Yeah. Tonight is the evening of Yom Kippur, and I'm (technically) Jewish. I only observe one piece of the tradition this holiday: remembering the deceased - in this case, my mom's father, who passed away almost 3 years ago. I don't fast or go to synagogue, but it's one of the few times a year when I'll pull out the vodka. I'll have a vodka tonic or two, since it used to be his favorite drink. I remember being three years old and sharing them with him (1). And tomorrow, mom and I are going to the range together when dad goes to synagogue. Dad observes the high holidays in his way, but since mom and I are remembering her father (dad's parents are still alive and well; I'm not neglecting them in this), we're doing what he would have wanted us to do - not that we mind. So, yes, I'm enjoying the drink, but it isn't rowdy kids causing it. ------ (1) Lest you think he was doing something wrong by sharing a vodka tonic with a three year old, I'll mention that he had the vodka and I had the tonic water. He didn't mix it then offer me any. He'd just start drinking the vodka straight up, and give me a cup of tonic water. I'm one of the few people I know who drinks tonic water straight up, although since turning 21, there have been better options.

Man, I love the South. That sounds like college all over again. We'd drink EW and mix with whatever was on hand....even Gatorade.

I love Firefly...Just great stuff.

This half and half is very good, but needs a bit more bite in my opinion. I believe it's only about 13% ABV

    • One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly. 
    • Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.
    • This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.   
    • No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
