Re: Baratza Vario
Thanks, Rob. The Capresso Infinity is going to get its gold watch and retire to a shelf in the garage, and the Vario is on its way. :D

Baratza Vario
I managed to snag a mid-grade espresso machine on ebay for a low-grade price, and I need to upgrade my grinder. If I get the espresso bug I will need to buy an HX machine at some point (so I am...

Re: What are you reading?
Just finished Homer and Langley by E.L. Doctorow
Started Middlemarch by George Eliot (not sure if I can finish this one) and Redbreast by Jo Nesbo.

Re: Happy Birthday, James Joyce
There actually is a child molester in Dubliners (maybe two, depending on how you define molester.) No Brownies that I can recall though. Unless you want to count Joyce's love letters to his wife,...

It's been a while since I read this, but the details that stick in my memory are his description of Rehnquist's poker games and the friendship between Scalia and Ginsburg. Political commentary is...

Re: What was your last Scotch purchase?
Tried the Finlaggan over the weekend -- it's not Lagavulin by a long shot, but it's definitely Islay -- peat, salt, and iodine up the wazoo. For the price, I'm not disappointed.

Re: What's the last movie you watched?
Let the Right One In (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lat_den_ratte_komma_in/) is really good as well. Unconventional, thoughtful, and very well crafted.

Re: I lost a snake...
I'm not really a snake fan, but my wife is. A couple years ago we acquired a ball python which managed to escape. Instead of telling me that the snake got out, my wife went out and bought another one...

Re: RyJ Museum Edition (Fazzino) *Pics*
I stopped by my B&M and the Altadis rep happened to be there promoting these. I picked one up because the deal was one Museum Edition for 20 bucks and he'd throw in two other standard Altadis sticks...

Re: What are you reading?
The War that Killed Achilles by Caroline Alexander. A close and insightful reading of the Iliad. Scholarly, but not academic. Good stuff.
