A beautiful Wednesday afternoon here in the Valley of the Sun. The air was so warm and fragrant with the scent of the citrus trees flowering, and the bottle of Bacardi Añejo to refresh my mojito from time to time looked great on the yellow “boat drinks” table basking in the late afternoon sun. Hard to believe, I thought, that some of my Goodboys friends were staring down another snowstorm later this week. I wished they were there with me.

Of course, in three months the tables will be turned when they have all that lovely summer New England weather and we’ll be here in the steamer roaster praying for the second week in October.

Everything has its time in the sun – people, places, even bottles of añejo.

Like the man says, “stay thirsty my friends”…
