    Panache tried the absinthe as well...look how he emptied the bottle!



    Farlander's lovely wife looks on in amusement at our antics (she's usually the one making trouble )




    On our way out of the facilities-an even merrier bunch than on our way in:



    We reconvened at a nice restaurant with an outdoor patio for a late lunch and a little dark brew before all heading our separate ways.

    Thanks to Monkey@Arms for such a great idea, here sitting with the newly met demolay1310:



    And walkerk and Madalyn looking content:



    That's pretty much all I've got (everyone breathes a sigh of relief)

    Be well,

    Wait, just one more set of pics. Absinthe starts clear/golden and then gradually clouds up as it sits out (with ice in it in this case, but I think anything will do-such as a sugar cube if you're into that whole Dracula thing)


    Here it is mostly transparent, but just starting to turn at the bottom of the glass:




    Then, after a few minutes:




    Alright, that's really all I've got

    Be well,

    WOW.

    I just crawled around the boat, troubleshot electrical issues, threaded my experimental spinnaker thong line through the kite, and couldn't go sailing 'cause I was so bleedin' busy doing all THAT stuff.

    It looks like fun!

    BTW, no way I will be at Monterey Games. I'd love to but I have GOT to get some on-the-water time.

    It was great to get together with the gang for such a pleasant afternoon.

    Here is an interesting article from the SF Gate (The San Francisco Chronicle's online identity) about Absinthe and the St. George Distillery

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl.../MNQJTO9FM.DTL

    I find this picture disturbing



    It reminds me of this...thing that Freelander Sporrano has in one of his secret laboratories



    When I asked him what it was he just laughed and said "one day you and the whole world will know..."



    Cheers

    Jamie
