Thanks for the info.

Add me to the list of those who didn't know that sweet vermouth goes bad. I keep mine with the top on tight in a cool place and have never had any problems.

What place in Saratoga?

I actually prefer bourbon to rye in my Manhattan, but yes 2:1 on the ratio and the bitters. I can take or leave the cherry.

One thing to consider: pre-plan and set up a funeral account for everything before your parent dies. We did it for my mother-in-law. The headstone, the funeral home, etc.. Just a few less things to deal with when the time comes.

Hopefully the low beam head lamp in that is easier to change than the one in my Mazda CX-7. Wow, what a pain in the ass. Not happy about it.

One of the best worst stories I've ever read.

Seriously, the e-mail of the week was an emotional roller coaster.

Great call, also keeping a small compact 2 ton trolley jack in your car isn't a bad idea either.

Marry an orphan. Problem solved.

Nice review Will. One of my earliest memories of beer. Grew up on Genny "screamers"

Agree, hard not to love Fred Jackson.

Disappointed about Kaat. Always liked him and he is a great analyst. Loved when he was on YES Network. If McCarver can win the Frick Award, so should Kaat.

Youth sports pictures are also a gigantic rip-off

When I went to URI , Narragansett was out of business. Needless to say my brother is coming to visit from MA next week and I will be asking him to bring me a six pack of this.

Yup, fellow URI grad here.
