Glenfiddich 15 Solara Wood Reserve

Posted by docsmooth on 2009/05/18

Smooth as silk with a splash of water
I sip as my wife talks of being a potter,
Its nose is sublime,
Soft as syrah wine,
The effects do make my pulse hotter.

Back from Vacation

Posted by docsmooth on 2009/04/30

We went to vacation in the Riviera Maya, just south of Cancun.  We stayed at the Hotel Excellence Riviera Maya, just outside of Puerto Morelos.  I dove 2 days, one just outside of Puerto Morelos, and one from Cancun.  Both days included dives to a sunk minesweeper, and a wreck dive.  Pictures are up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/chi-diver

Copenhagen photos on Schmap

Posted by docsmooth on 2009/03/06

2 of the pictures I took on a business trip to Copenhagen got picked up for Schmap’s online guide.  One of them appears to be one of the only decent photos of the hotel I stayed at under a Creative Commons license on Flickr.  You can see them on the guide at:

Nyhavn Harbour

and

Palace Hotel

It’s kinda cool.

I like Scotch. Scotchy-Scotch-Scotch.

Posted by docsmooth on 2009/03/04

I’m a big fan of single-malt Scotch Whisky.  One of my favorite movie lines is above, and I have been heard quoting it at Scotch tastings.  I may therefore blog about it sometimes.  Currently I have a bottle of Johnny Walker Black at home for mixing and late nights and a bottle of Aberlour 12 as my “good stuff.” When I travel, I have been known to take a small flask, as it saves money, and then I know what I’m getting.

Oddly enough, however, I probably only have a glass of Scotch every 2-3 weeks, unless one of my “Scotch buddies” is in town.  The price is high, and there is such thing as “too much of a good thing” I believe.

Later I’ll explain why, but when I have a new Scotch, I write limericks about it.  They will start to appear here.

Springbank 10

Posted by docsmooth on 2008/10/14

Soft on the nose, with a hint of oak,
Dissonant but nice without the smoke,
I drink and enjoy,
The tastes they employ,
Me to write and read to the folk.
