It was delicious. Randy had it shipped from Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Randy and Theresa for having us all over for Turkey Day (and Ham Day as well) and for being such kind and generous hosts. I may or may not be sampling your vodka as I type this (at 7:37 AM).<\/p>\n<p>Which reminds me&#8230; I found the Bible of Downtown Memphis out in Eads.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/day-drinking.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-26224\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/day-drinking.jpeg?resize=357%2C500\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/day-drinking.jpeg?resize=357%2C500 357w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/day-drinking.jpeg?resize=214%2C300 214w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/day-drinking.jpeg?resize=1200%2C1681 1200w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/day-drinking.jpeg?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 357px) 85vw, 357px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cheers to my fellow Thanksgiving guests, Dani, Donald, and Butt Slut #1.

You never can tell what makes some people happy.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the basketball Tigers lost yesterday in a buzzer-beater to Seton Hall. That sucks. The Tigers play Nebraska today at 4:30. It&#8217;ll either be on ESPN2 or ESPNews.<\/p>\n<p>Damn this is some good vodka.
