Woodford Reserve

For all the things that have been going on lately it was nice to have a good weekend. Friday was my 27th birthday and Sarah treated me to a great dinner. On Saturday we went and took a tour of Woodford Reserve. What was supposed to be a one hour tour ended up being almost three hour tour. While I enjoyed most of the tour, learning about the history distilling at the site, about the buildings, the distilling process (though I knew a good part of it already) and more from the guide. However, hearing about how the Continental Congress passed in 1791 a whiskey excise tax and its effect on the distilling industry was straining, as it was one of the most repeated mistakes. I’m a bit of a history buff and a lot of the history he talked about was just plain wrong. Fortunately, it provided an opportunity to get away from the group a little bit to get a few pictures without the tour group being around. To see the pictures just go to the gallery.

Such fun

I remember when I use to update this site at least once a day. I wonder if I'm ever going to get back to that point either. I guess school really did give me a lot more free time than I have now, though I never would have guessed that to be the case when I was in college. I was constantly busy with something. Maybe in the near future I can resurrect this site and bring it back to live with regular fresh content. But for now, I guess this blog will just be a way to look back with content growing ever more stale by the day and a way for me to find my normal list of sites I read. (Though I need to clean up the blogroll as some of the sites are on hiatus, getting ready to stop, or long gone.)
