Tree Climbing, Again
Tree-climbing on the Neckarwiese in Heidelberg, early June.
Ahh, summer.
Barrel-Aged Negroni
Armed with gin, campari, various bottles of vermouth and a little barrel, Andy and my father set out to make their first barrel-aged cocktail.
Naturally, they started with a negroni. Although a manhattan or other whisky-based drink would work.
They’ll age it for about six weeks where, it’s hoped, the cocktail will develop a depth of flavor as liquors mingle together and oak is subtly imparted into the mix.
But, first, a little taste. And a toast.
#480: Our View
On a warm June morning, overlooking Bernal Heights.

Olympia
We went by the German recycling center in Heidelberg to scrounge for interesting antiques and stumbled on this beauty. It was only €8. So I bought it for Kate because, essentially I owed her a typewriter.
Which is another whole story.
But this one is in perfect condition. The typewriter itself is a portable in a beautiful sage green color. Even the case is beautiful. And there is still a sticker on the outside from where it was sold in Heidelberg. I’d venture this has never even been used.
