UPDATE: I’ve been duped! Actually, the woman who regularly sends me these was duped. Even still: EMBARRASSING!

From my inbox:

6 black lab (mix) puppies were rescued out of the middle of the road on Saturday. PLEASE help me find them homes - otherwise, it’s Animal Control - which means they only have 5 days. We’ve bathed them, sprayed them for fleas and wormed them….but we can’t keep them.

They are currently in a kennel in my basement since I don’t have a fence. I’ve lost count of the number of rescue groups that I’ve contacted, only to be turned down due to no room. Please check with every dog person you know to see if they need a puppy. If anyone has any questions about the pups, they can email them to Stacey Moore at: slsmoore33@hotmail.com

We Do Torture. But We Don’t Have To.

I have to do most of my copy writing work with pen and paper to avoid internet distractions. That is sad.

Currently my favorite cocktail is a vodka gimlet. Made with Belvedere, Rose’s lime juice and shaken like a crying baby, this drink is pure perfection if the ratio is right. Three parts vodka, one part Rose’s lime juice–that’s it. It is surprising to me how many bartenders (in this area) don’t know what a gimlet is, especially considering its very simple ingredients.

Is there a drink you love that you find yourself explaining to bartenders?
