Yukon Dangermike!

So when the girlfriend's out of town, it's natural that men will do things that the girlfriend might not approve of. This is the Natural Order of Things.

On my first night alone, I've bought some absinthe. And some Yukon Jack. The cats and I are going to hang out and do some drinking. I'm not sure what I was thinking with the Yukon Jack. I'm pretty sure that if I had not been alone, I would have been prevented from making such a dumb purchase.

Thing is, the Yukon is an amazing place. Something like 90 percent of its population lives in Whitehorse, on the southern edge of the territory. The rest of the place is empty. And beautiful. So I figured that a liquor with the name of Yukon Jack had to be good.

Anyway, it's not very good. Turns out it's a liqueur, which is French for "syrupy garbage." I thought Yukon Jack was a Canadian Whiskey, which would have been fine. Canadian whiskey is delightful. Very nonconfrontational. Mellow. Sort of like the Rainbow Gathering of whiskeys.

I'll let you know how the absinthe goes. I need sugar cubes.

By the way, have I ever shown you my pictures of the Yukon? Beautiful place. I'll see if I can't track them down.
