Who went to Great Woods- 6/18

but was it good rum and tequila?

It was glorious.

ok... gotta ask...

[maid memories]

This time a week ago I was unpacking and repacking so I could leave again the next morning.

It always amazes me. We spend so much time planning and getting excited for these things. I know the last week before I flew up there seemed like it was taking forever. I was so excited to get up there. In the blink of an eye it was over, a week has already passed and I'm counting down to the next outing.

However, I am sitting at home drinking from a blue cup.

I'm watching "Singin in the Rain" hard to be in any kind of funk while watching Gene Kelly. He was a hunk.

He was beautiful and in a very manly way. I love "The Pirate". It's always been one of my favorites (co-starring Judy Garland). I still get it in from Netflix every once in a while. I should just buy a copy.

I think I'm going to take a cue from you and watch some old movies tonight. I watched Funny Girl a couple of weeks ago and fell in love.

With Barbra Streisand? nice legs, nose... not so much

Is there any other Funny Girl? I love her. I love her voice. I love that she was the one that "made people laugh". AND right now I even love that you described her as "nice legs, nose... not so much"...I just related to the character a lot.

I'm still waiting for the question.

She was looking pretty darn good in the Prince of Tides!

I would KILL for her voice. That's one of my favorite sing along movies

I will give you that. But early in her career, she hadn't really "grown into herself".

I've been known to do a little "Don't Rain on My Parade" at karaoke. There's a place about 5 blocks from my house, Lipstick Lounge, and it's very, um... show-tune friendly. I have to do it before I've had any alcohol and it just about wrecks my voice for the night, but I can belt it out once. It's one of my favorite things to sing. (Yes, I'm a karaoke nerd, but at least I have a bunch of friends who are as well.) Come to think of it, I want to see some parrothead karaoke in Key west.

Well, Dave gave me samples of several different kinds of rum on Friday and they were amazing, but I couldn't tell you what any of them were. Saturday it was mostly Sailor Jerry, which is smoother than Captain. The glorious part came after I'd had about a half-gallon of it.

Todd, she's talking rum here. Dave & Carol brought back a bunch of different vanilla rums from St Barts and were gracious enough to treat us to a tasting. YUM!!

There was some M'bolo, Ma Dou Dou but several that were made by different restaurants on the island like Wall House and Gloriette (MY personal fave!)

Thank you for clarifying. I will now edit that post before somebody gets a hold of it.

And a newer version



Rumor is Lea Michele wanted a nose job when she was a teenager, and her mother said "If Barbra's nose is good enough for her, it's good enough for you."

I forget which one it was but one of them had a strong, smoky aftertaste, almost to the point of feeling like I was sitting next to an overflowing ashtray.

I actually think that might have been the one they made themselves.

Larry, that's weird because last night we had some with our neighbors and they didn't think that at all, either did Mar..
to each his own I guess.

I'm not 100% sure it was yours, it might have been one of the high end ones.

Nope, it was ours.

Thanks again Dave.

Corks did have it and we served up some Rum Jumbies Saturday Night. I booked Jim Morris to play a private show for my wife's birthday party out on Plum Island and they were a nice addition to the drink menu. He put on an absolutely unbelievable show!

Dave

The Leaky Tiki Crew had a great time at the show. We had the Wheel of Fun and I saw some things I wish I didn't.

Can you get Rum Jumbie anywhere is NH or in MA? I could really use a bottle for this weekend.

Thanks!

Dave
