Changing of the Guard - The Times We live in

There are actually a couple or 3 that are higher level. The highest (Ambassador) will put you back about $250. I can get that here, but I'd rather not put that much into a single bottle when I could get 7 Riservas for that kind of money. The other you may be looking at is the Single Vintage (I don't have it here). Or possibly one of the two Batch Collections running around $80. I can't get those here either. Which one are you looking at?
Anyway I'm glad you like the Reserva Exclusiva. Just all I could ask in a sipping rum. This Xmas I am going to try another one from Venezuela, Santa Teresa 1796. I'll taste it side by side with the Diplomatico like I have done with others that were just not quite as good to my taste.
Cathy and I are going to Cuba over Christmas. My former agent has lined me up a gig playing a few songs on the guitarra with a band at a bar called El Mosserita or some such thing. I know CUba is famous for Rum, so perhaps after I load up on cigars I will be ready for rums. SHoudl be fun.

Never had any from Cuba, but this came up via Google. Both from 2017.

I have seen some of these. I think I will defer to the experts since I can't possibly drink all of this stuff. We are taking a 6 hour convertible tour of the Island. It is mandatory now that a Cuba visit includes a cultural lesson, so we booked a driver, translator on vintage convertible Thunderbird. $199 bucks, lol. We have to get Canadian money before going there. Lot's of goofy rules. I may wind up in a Cuban Jail.....oh wait,,,, our cruise packgae includes the option of the Cruise line getting you out of jail if you go there. How nuts is that?

Again, I was absolutely right. I appreciate your reading me, and being a fan of mine. I also thank you for re-affirming that I was the first one to tell you that Brady was done, and he is. That his decay took a few weeks longer doesn't detract from my amazing insight.
Regarding draft picks, he we followed my picks, we would have Petersen, Big Ben, Julio Jones, and more. You are what my Father would call...a jackoff, in fact, you are a jackoff. You can't just go back to 2009...Had the Browns followed my prescription since 1999 they would have had a SB win by now. Drafting Big Ben would mean Lynch and Trubisky would not have been an issue....AND............................ we would not have needed Baker.................... We would have Ben................ and a lot of BETTER draft picks..............
ALSO................. My suggested QB have included Big Ben, Wentz/Goff, Phillip Rivers............... ALL THOSE PICKS performed better than 100% of the Bronws QB picks from 1999. If I was the Browns GM, the QB hunt would have been over long, long, long ago...................... AND...................we would have won 1 or 2 superbowls.
I would not say I am God-like. BUT.............. I am more accurate than any living expert or personnel executive in the NFL. Of course I have missed a few...... but I have been more accurate than all the posters here, and all the experts. Bow vermin, Bow to your Master........... Kiss my ring............... I am king.
Anyone who would write off Tom Brady at this point is what my dad would call.....the king of fuhucking idiots.
If the Pats have issues, it is with the defense, not with Brady.

Nope Gip, you're forgetting the Patsies have issues at WR too. The reason they took a flyer on Josh Gordon. Brady is only 25th in passing yards, and 27th in yards per game. His QBR is still a respectable 93 though.
The demise of New England (and Brady) has long been anticipated, this just might be the year. Stay tuned. If the Dolphins beat them in Foxborough this Sunday, the vultures will start circling.

I don't think Brady has "demised" any. New England's defense has perhaps....and yes, they are having trouble getting decent receivers. Brandon Cooks, Amendola, Edelman, are gone from last year. But Edelman is due back after one more game....and Gordon will likely join them soon. If he does not completely blow it, he and Brady could be a lethal combination.
Its not that I don't wish that Brady and NE would be falling into the abyss. I do....and I think it will come eventually....just not necessarily right now.
Insert the old Mark Twain line: Reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

Are you taking the cruise that goes around the island with 2-3 stops?

No, this one makes a couple stops along the way, Somewhere in the Bahamas, I also think we make a run to that Atlantis place, then a 24 hour stop in Cuba. We will have a 6-hour car tour with the guides, and then they will drop us off wherever we want. I will probably hire them out for another 6 hours and have a chauffeur for a lot of the place. Cathy is the planner, I am the lobotomy patient that she points and I go. I was a Grinch about our Alaska cruise but man, I had the time of my life.

I imagine it will be. I finally gave in to my wife and took the first cruise, now I am hooked. The cruise experience is great. You can truly just veg-out and have everything taken care of for you.
Have you seen any of the Cruise ship "boarding fail" videos where people are running like hell to catch the ship....literally missing departure from a port? What the hell? Who is stupid enough to let that happen?
