WMRK is going a little funky worldly this morning. That's ok, I can roll with that. Came into wearing my new cloth masks with "This too shall pass" embroidered on it in Farsi this morning.
Shave was "ok". One of those mornings where I just wasn't thinking or in the grove. Had enough stutter on the first pass to get me to pay attention to get a decent shave without injury, but my dolphin WHO IS FINE BY THE WAY didn't come out to play.
Scotch - I was able to go a day without buying any! I have a few nice variety sets of 100ml bottles and 2 full size bottles. My plan, as of now, is to not buy any more until at least those full size bottles are at least half empty. I am of course learning the taste and notes you get are different when you're actually having a glass vs just a few sips to taste. Which of course makes it tough to quickly gain experience. I guess I'll need to show the patience and maturity I should have. @Dave in KY have you ever stopped to think about everything that could have happened while the peat was forming to be using the glass of scotch you're drinking??? " An equation for peat might be written as flora plus death and water, minus oxygen, multiplied by pressure and time. In other words, peat is the decomposed remains of grasses, moss, sedges, and reeds that have been compressed over centuries in the oxygen-starved, waterlogged conditions of bogs in the colder climates of countries at higher latitudes. We’re used to waiting for whisky to mature, but one foot of peat might take 300 years to form. "
EDC - Well, my EDC struggles continue. I'm fairly happy with my work bag now. It could have a couple of quick release snaps instead of actual buckles to make it more functional, but it's going to last forever and looks pretty sweet. I'm totally happy with my new little front pocket wallet. It's expanded a touch when I realized there could be a time or two my wife isn't actually in the house all day and I need to start carrying a key with me. But it's still nice and thin and good for 90% of my outings. It's that last piece of the puzzle. I have a bag that goes in my work bag to carry my wallet with all the other cards, iPad mini (for work when I don't bring my laptop) toothpick case, flashlight, knife, etc. It's just too big. And honestly, I don't think outside of the house there's ever really a time I've needed a knife or flashlight. Heck, there's a flashlight on your phone now. And this bag is too big. So I'm still brainstorming ideas. I can do without carrying my iPad around, because I haven't been. Really just need the rest of my cards, phone back-up battery and charging cables, 4-5 pens, toothpick case, lip balm and hand sanitizer. I've thought of a small zippered carrying case, but I'm worried I might set it down somewhere. A smaller bag looks too much like a purse if it has a shoulder strap. The struggle is real.
