Non-poker but semi-related.
Saturday, I had an opportunity to partake of some truly premium tequila. I am not talking about my $40 a botlle stuff, I had the the top of the line Jose Cuervo and Don Julio brands that cost like $120 a bottle.
OMG, it was the smoothest stuff I had ever tasted. We just sipped it straight up, no chilling or ice, and their was almost no signs while going down of it screaming "Hey I am made of alcohol." Instead it just had the most com-lex taste I have had. Touch of various spices, a little oak earthiness, and few floral and fruit flavors thrown in as well. Amazing stuff!
I give up on trying to find a single malt that suits my taste buds for all premium liquor dollars will from hence forth be saved towards buying a bottle of this uber-expensive stuff.

Now that I have a new job, I can play again. Plus my wife wants to kick me out so she can do some homework. I'll be there, and I'll bring some of my "equalizer". I just hope I remember how to play. Are we starting at about 7 again? And, yes I got the hint from the e-mail. What did you miss my money?

Ahhh, Tubes, I had a feeling you'd see the light and come over to the Tequila Side someday. Suggestion: back down at the $40-ish range, try Don Julio.
I just now got to your e-mail and will try to make it Saturday.

Hank, I have had Don Julio Anejo, it is nothing like Don Julio 1942 for $120. Delicious stuff!
My personal favorite of the two was the Jose Cuervo Gran Reserva for $100. It had a really interesting earthy taste, whereas the Don Julio bottle had more of a dessert/ apertif like flavor.
Keep um coming with the reservations.

Dang it, Tubes. It doesn't look good for me. When setting up my weekend festivities, I set up Saturday as "date night." Well, our baby sitter/niece is not available tonight, so tomorrow is looking bleak. I'd rather do the HTF game than the Dead Money game, but a game is a game, and it's gonna have to be Friday this weekend. 
Have a blast and give me updates, though.

Sorry guys. I wasn't able to make it. Had to work too late on the project I have been working on and was too tired to do anything but go home and sleep afterward. I pretty much wrapped up the project today so hopefully I can make it next time.
