Happy false confession day to all who celebrate...

The usual is the Whiskey Apple which has two ingredients and ice. I'll leave it to both of you to figure out what those are.

Anyhow, I diverse.

I got my drink, I got my wifi, I got my idea and I am about to head in to a few creative hours of studio time.

A place I can work, a place I don't want anyone reading this (both of you) to crash unless I am hosting.

Cash Only, west coast honkytonk. Blah blah blah. My favorite place to get a drink in SJ.

I ask for a hot drink, preferably whiskey or rum and end up with a Hot Toddy.

I love this thing.

Not having the stomach or the party for a bender, I was also sad that I could not work and I desperately need to work as I have a sale show that I am making work for myself with the excuse that I'll part with it if the price is right.

So I go to an old standby, a place I can count on.

"Hot buttered rum." Which I remember from hillbilly Ohio. Okay that is unfair, it was pretty flat but we called it the capital of West Virginia.

It was good, the bartenders were super trendy looking and high quality (a wee pricey too).

My mission has been derailed but I want another hot drink.

"How about mulled wine or mulled cider" I attempted to be helpful. "Sorry." was the reply and I left and went across the street to the bar that used to be a winebar when I went there.

The people behind the bar informed me they had not clocked in so I moved to another stretch and ordered.

My plan as it congealed, "I'll get a pretty straight forward drink, maybe a hot buttered rum that I recall from my wayard youth"

Okay, let's start with the fancy drink place, which I thought was also a proper bar: "For hot drinks, were only doing chocolate drinks this year."
