Everybody has a blog these days. You’re supposed to. I could go all hipster and participate in the analog comeback (which I do by loving my vinyl rig) and just use my mobile phone for all communication and information gathering, but I don’t know if I have that much irony in me.

Instead, I’m going to start this mommy blog. I figure it is the best chance I have at gaining any sort of significant traffic. Hopefully, it won’t matter to my stay-at-readers, that I’m a) not a mom and b) male. So along with the latest solutions to mommy problems, I’ll share my thoughts on cocktails and spirits. They are actually surprisingly similar and I hope to establish why as I write more.

To get this party started.

Japanese Cocktail (published 1862)

2oz cognac
1/2oz orgeat
3 dashes Boker’s Bitters

After a couple of those, I might just be tempted to do this.
