Spoken like a true Philistine...
Didn’t Norton Commons just build its own private library for its private school and local cult?
Late to the party, but as far as 80’s/90’s strong female roots rockers go - and Tracy is up there - I’d have to put this in place A1A:
And if we’re going later 90’s, Gillian’s book of work is unparalleled. This is angelic and pure:

It was a fake stage set, like Sherriff Bart’s impromptu imposter Rock Ridge.
Car Wheels On A Gravel Road has a strong claim to the best album of the 90s. I absolutely worship.
If you threw this song on in college and didn't get laid, that's on you. Mazzy Star did their part.
* Peter Zeihan, a graduate of the Patterson School at UK, is a geopolitical strategist who is shockingly right about tons of things. For instance, about ten years ago he called the Russian invasion of Ukraine almost to the day.
His current theory is that blue cities in red states are going to be the economic drivers of America in the foreseeable future and mentions Lexington by name as a likely powerhouse. Given the build up of the automotive industry here, he's probably right.
Since our state has the prettiest (and ugliest) people, we will probably just outbreed any obnoxious interlopers.
Kentucky has produced George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and me so our record of handsome men is impeccable.

I like this. However before there is material growth and an influx of substantial transplants in Louisville everyone needs to check with the Brown family here first to make sure they’re ok with this. We need to be absolutely certain any growth and or development will benefit them before any action is taken.
Went to cocktails at the conservatory with our neighbor friends last night. It’s a really nice event they do once a month in the fancy Jewish neighborhood in town. Themed drinks and you walk around looking at plants and fun other **** with music blah blah. Last nights theme was gin, by far my least favorite liquor. It’s typically 6 different “stations” where you walk around to and drink different gin cocktails from different companies. Well for some damn reason it wasn’t cocktails last night - it was just straight up shots of F*cking gin. Just shots - I took 6 f*cking shots of gin to start off the night last night. Not just any gin mind you, but half were brown - some aged 3 years in cherry wood barrels blah blah trying to turn gin into anejo tequila. Well it doesn’t work - it still tastes like god awful gin. We then had a torrential downpour 2 hours later as we were walking around downtown and then *Poof* my 4 year old was jumping on my chest at 7:15. 
Gin in any form is repulsive.
False.
The Botanist, tonic, lime. Enjoy.

Gin is fantastic.
Just popped my cherry on having to fire someone… gotta say, it doesn’t feel great.

Gin n Sprite, and a splash of grenadine is a nice refreshing summer beverage.

-I don't understand how anyone could have a problem with a head coach saying his program's expectation is to win their Division. WTF is he supposed to say? Hope we finish 2nd or 3rd? Streble's an ***.
-That said, I am looking forward to a new way of evaluating our progress. Win totals are great, but a dynamic SEC schedule and the dissolution of divisions will make for more interesting metrics year over year.
-I think anything less than 3rd in the east will be a major disappointment this season.
-Kids caught some kind of virus last weekend. Fevers and ear infections for the baby and 4 year old boy have made sleep impossible. I've had a milder version that I think I'm past now. Hate that ****.
-Almost pulled the trigger on a quick trip to see Childers in Charleston mid-August. Ticket lined up. First weekend of school starting atkot.
-Shew boy the CARDS fanboys are chirping again. Staggering out of L&N Federal Credit Union Cardinal Stadium after another *** whipping is going to be exciting again.
-Music rec: Jamestown Revival's San Isabel album.
-My oldest turns 10 in August. She's wonderful but keeps a full social calendar these days so I'm seeing less and less of her which kind of sucks. Guess I should get used to it.
-Speaking of seeing the family less and less, being back in an office at 8 am everyday is bittersweet. Nice to get away and I'm far more productive than working from home, but I am feeling guilty about the time I'll miss with them. It's just reality, but it was a nice 4 years 100% remote.
-Kentucky tormenting Mizzou is such a treat. F them.
-Nashville's emergence as the PREMIER SEC DESTINATION is still annoying. The South is one of if not the most culturally rich regions in the country but ****** as bro country bars and overpriced hotels in Godforsaken Tennessee is the best we can do? Ridiculous.
-Had to go to Frankfort this week for birth certificates. May be the time of year with school getting closer, but certainly felt the innate desire to travel east on I-64 to Lexington. I haven't spent any time there in a few years with the baby coming last fall and just being busy. May need to schedule a weekend with the inlaws sometime in August and try to get out.
-McDonald's in rural SC was offering for a limited time only a 40 piece McNugget and basket of fries meal. At first I thought it may make some sense for a group of kids or something, but it also included a drink, implying it was for 1 (one) person. Jesus Christ, America.
-Won't be long before society pushes back against the current "anywhere goes" disposal method for Zyn pouches, and probably time tbh. Pretty disgusting. I've belatedly started properly throwing them away, especially on the course.
-All it takes is for me to not be able to dig up a drinking buddy or two in the neighborhood consecutive weekends for me to wonder if I actually have any friends. Need someone to enthusiastically answer that text tonight or tomorrow. "Come over" makes this little social alcoholic's heart flutter.
-Started The Bear. It's fine. Soundtrack is probably the best part tbh. "Impossible Germany" was perfectly placed.
-tldr lmao

Gin is arguably the most complex spirit of them all, and thus, the proper bartender's favorite.

It's called being realistic versus false hope, believing in mirages, things of that nature....
It's fine to be excited and so forth, but when you continually lather the sentiment with an inordinate amount of hyperbole, then that isn't healthy, and frankly, it shows just how ignorant one is about the subject at hand. IMHO.
Been into Empress a little lately. Really enjoy. The butterfly pea blossom is the source of it's changing colors.
A Negroni is the best cocktail in the world, feel sadness for those who don't enjoy. It's so unique, and definitely takes a bit.
Bourdain said it best, imo.
"A Negroni is a perfect drink as far as I'm concerned. It's three liquors that I'm not particularly interested in ... But put them together with a slice of orange. It works ... That first sip is confusing and not particularly pleasant. But man it grows on you,"
-I bet Sloot would enjoy a French 75, btw. Lass, a former gin hater (or so she thought), loves them.

*good to see JT come back with a decent round after chuck knoblauching it around 18 yesterday. The game seems to get everyone at some point in the career and they have to strip it down and figure out a way back.
*The Jared from Subway doc is just awful. And he maybe wasnt even the worst person involved. I also kept thinking of the thread that MattsCats started like 15 years ago, "Jared's Monkey" and how many posters actually visited a local Subway and whispered "Jared's Monkey" to the Sub artist assuming they got a free 6-inch.
*Half a World Away's placement in The Bear is the winner.
*What a run the climate protestors are on- effing up matches at Wimbledon and then heading straight to the Open. Plus they are making a huge difference!
*Homeowners policy went up 40% from last July to my renewal this week as well... i'll shop it around as I do every few years but it is what it is.

"Well that's a great question. Our expectations for the program don't waver. If you walk into our building right now our goals are listed right there on the wall: win 8-9 games *most* years, avoid the Liberty Bowl, cover the spread against Georgia. We aren't winning the East; I know that. And it's my job to make sure our guys know that, and it's something we take very seriously."
Living in Knoxville we’re seeing this happening. My home value doubled in the last five years. Tons of people are moving into the area from both the north and south. The mountains keep the climate moderate to the point that some winters we have one or less snowfalls and that is attractive to many. CoL is low as well. And no state income tax.
A huge entertainment development is planned for the downtown area including a baseball stadium. Infrastructure is terrible though. No place for the increased traffic to flow.
Looking forward to moving back to KY this year and being close to family.
-Beefy ankles, beware, summer hitting next week. Mid 90s. Not gonna lie, hoping a few of you just barely make it through.
-Gin is terrible. At least with tequilla you get flavor. I can see how it would be enjoyable but just not for me me. Gin is kerosene.
-This Open coverage is awful. Takes some Dramamine if you have a weak stomach.
-During the summer it takes all I have to NOT text the neighbor, "Cocktails?" every single night. For now Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are off limits. Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and most Sundays are on
.
-Been batting around with dropping my daily drinker back to 90proof or less. The OF 86 being the staple. After 3 that adds up.
-CEUs yesterday and per typical it was full of latent racism. At one point Hitler was listed as one of the great leaders in history, listed b/w Lincoln and Ghandi. Of course Donald Trump was listed one spot ahead of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I don't know how this improved my knowledge of HVAC but apparently Kentucky and Ohio think it's necessary.
-Wodie likes negronis? No ****? Never heard him talk about them before.
-Have the Climate Change activist thought about having Hollywood Celebrities do a montage cover of 'Imagine'?

An Aviation is a fantastic hot weather cocktail.
Gin and Tonic, the classic Martini (vodka martini is absurd), the previously mentioned Aviation, the ubiquitous Tom Collins? Gin and summer were made for each other.

Negronis are fine. Boulevardiers are my jam.
This dude is a good YouTube follow for mixology.
This one here hits Home.

- Let me get back to you on Nashville in late August. Was chosen for my crew as its halfway between here and Atlanta, but ****, when you’re getting together with old buddies you haven’t seen in years these days , does the setting really matter?
- 90 proof is perfectly fine. I went through a brief proofer phase but now my high-gas **** sits. Different for the super high end stuff of course.
- Is Rose Byrne the best comedic actress around right now? She kills in everything she does.
- Glad Anth’s swarmy Mediterranean blood will get its disgusting heat next week. Enjoy yourself, big boy.
- Kiffin may be atop my “Used to hate him, now I kinda like him” list. Jimmy Butler is also in there.
- Speaking of, you know I really don’t mind a BackstreetBoys or NSynch song popping into my life randomly these days.
- These athlete-produced auto-documentaries are F’ING ****. Remind me of Disney sports movies. I’ll allow “The Last Dance.”
- What a shocker that Anth doesn’t buy into climate change.

Purchased 'Death & Company's cocktail book a few months ago. Nice little coffee table addition.
Regarding a French 75 (or any other cocktail). Probably tastes fine, but after a few sips, I just want straight champagne or a glass of wine. Tell her to order one tonight and I’ll try it.
Swarmy or swarthy? Expected better from a NKY CoC up and comer.
"Staff of Creative Bartenders", get outta here, just pour me a drink Coach. I don't need a monologue on the smoky flavors and rich texture. Creative bartender to me is the guy who puts the poker chip in front of your drink to recognize he's got your next round on the house.
Expecting better than 7-6 but realistic. Weaker NIL possibilities means transfer portal is our future. That said, Only so many DI QB jobs and no longer allows Bama/Georgia to stockpile QBs. Some good prospect will look to immediate time in SEC.

If you don't enjoy a nice cocktail on occasion, that's on you. James Beard nominee, and considered one of the best bars in the world for a Decade+. Great spot, delicious drinks, cool book.
Enjoy your Captain's & Coke, if that's your thing. I like all the basics too, it's 95% of my drinking, but definitely a time/place for something different or a unique cocktail, particularly when 'out' or traveling.
Looking forward to sampling a few of these interesting offerings tonight:

Only spirit I can’t stand is Vodka and that’s mainly because like everyone else I have terrible experiences with it from my younger years.
For gin I was a Tangeray, Tonic and lime guy.
- Had a follow up for the local louisville bourbon club to taste their Armanac finish 5 weeks in. It’s not close, but my other barrel is now on 5 months and fantastic AF.
- Got the green light to list our house come December. I can not wait! Assuming 6 months to move it that puts us moving next summer.
The idea of big nice “luxurious” is just that, an idea. Too much upkeep, to big to keep clean, a basement walkout with 7 kids is pure misery every time the 3 YO doesn’t respond to us screaming, or you have teenagers and the security goes off at 12-6am…………I could go on and on about everything I don’t like.
Downsize and find me some privacy!
- Lunch at the Eagle. Solid fried chicken, collard greens and shrimp&grits.
- Riverbats tonight for a little league football group thing. Kids get to run out on the field.
My 7YO thinks he likes tackle. Next week we find out for real when they begin their real tackling drills. Just in case I already signed him up for fall baseball.
- Headed to Nolin Lake tomorrow to meet a realtor for lake property to possibly start “lake life” next year. Can’t wait to find out how different the wife & I are when it comes to what this phase of our life is supposed to be.

Lol, I didn't say that. I was talking about those idiots running onto greens at The Open and courts at Wimbledon. I obviously encourage climate change because you hate it.- What a shocker that Anth doesn’t buy into climate change.
All I do know is that if it's on the SPECIAL DRINK menu and costs $23+, my wife is ordering it and inevitably hating it after two sips.
Toss in her standard ridiculous dessert order and Dad's bill gets a nice lil $40-$50 lassie surcharge. Drives me F'n nuts.
