Why do you think single malt Scotch was invented?

I'll tell you, one of the things that a lot of the forum members area always going on about is their ancestry. When I have a couple of days that are total sh*te, I always think of my ancestry and how good I have it compared to them.

My basement started to flood at ten o'clock the other night...I had to go down and rod out the drains...but as I was mucking about, I though that I at least had a basement and a nice heated watertight house while so many of those who had gone before me maybe had a basic roof over their heads and had to go out and cut firewood if they didn't want their kids to freeze in the winter. I won't even get into the concept of running water...

Granted, they didn't have to shell out what would have been for them a lifetime's income for a front end job on their short but it would have taken them weeks to go from Pennsylvania to Ilinois back then too.

And think...there are a whole lot of people all over the world right now who wish they had one tenth of our standard of living.

So try to be a happy warrior...as I tell my son, be sure to eat well and get enough sleep and go with the "that which does not kill me makes me stronger" thang. When the big things suck, take pleasure in the small things.

Best
