On behalf of RedRum, who obviously started Happy Hour really damn early and posted to the wrong place.

Y'all have a great Friday and weekend!

The strictures of my cardiac diet and three of the six meds I am on currently all say, "DO NOT DRINK", so the best I can do right now is a Diet Coke. Sad, I know, but....it is what it is. Someone will need to have a Franziskaner Weissbier for me.

There is an iced tea you can make that will give you a bit more “oomph” in flavor than a Diet Coke. I really like the lime ginger drinks at Frita Batidos, so I made something that has a similar zing:

- 1 Trader Joe’s Holy Basil tea bag

- Juice of 1/2 fresh lime

- 1/2 tsp (or more if you like) freshly grated ginger

- 2 tsp honey

Steep the holy basil tea and ginger in 6 oz. boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and mix in the honey, stirring to dissolve.

Add the lime juice to a tall glass and fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour the tea mixture over the ice and stir.

Let me know what you think.

Wait, today's Friday? I thought yesterday was Friday. Or maybe yesterday was Saturday. Whatever, I have a weekend and a week more of Friday/Saturdays before reality hits.

This week was a good one: we met with my wife's oncologist on Wednesday and he dared utter the R word. So bang me!

Thanks! Remission for Stage 4 cancer doesn't mean cancer free, just that it has clearly stopped spreading, and in her case the cancer is temporarily in retreat. Eventually her anti-cancer drugs will lose their efficacy, and the cancer will start to grow again, but maybe by then they will have developed another drug that holds it back for another couple years. All in all, it means she probably gets a few more years of putting up with me. I'm happy with that.
