I’ve been writing a lot the past couple of weeks (for a proposal, not here, unfortunately), but I came across this bit about when you know you’ve been in the lab too long, and thought it was a lot of fun. Some of them are DEFINITELY true — I particularly love #1, #8, #33 and #50,…
You might have heard that tonight is a rare “blue moon” – that is, the second full moon in a calendar month. They’re not super-rare, but uncommon enough to have our next one not occur until all the way in May, 2016. And since today is Friday, what better way than to celebrate with the…
One of the really tragic #firstworldproblems that goes along with getting the flu is that it keeps you from having Happy Hour – just that very thought is making my head hurt. Fortunately, I’m back to (almost) 100% and it’s time for the first happy hour of autumn. Emailing with a friend today, we recalled…
Since today is World Cocktail Day, we thought we really ought to go international during happy hour tonight… Left: Singapore Sling (recipe) (note: I like these “up” as opposed to on the rocks in a collins glass) Right: Cochabamba Taxi (recipe) Here’s to it!
Clementines and tangerines are popular treats this time of year – appearing in grocery stores around Christmastime in cheerful orange boxes.

It’s a nice calm easy Independence Day weekend at The Aerie this year. In addition to our national holiday, the weekend is always one of the biggest for tennis fans – this is the weekend of the Wimbledon finals. So, to honor, I’m sorry, honour our nation's forefathers and tennis heroes alike, we made a…
If being out of work has any advantages, one of them is that Happy Hour always starts on time. I know I lot of people don’t like the taste of different whiskeys – I used to be one of them. And I have to admit that I really don’t dig the taste of a Manhattan…
I had a whole “Friday Night Happy Hour” ready to go in my head today. I was going to write about a new drink that I’ve been working on (I’ve been trying to reconstitute one that I had at dinner in Chicago in September… and I think I finally got it) – but I actually…
