There has to be someone on the radio from some foreign country that I could talk to if I was only on the radio. Heck, I&#8217;m sure I talked to Croatia tonight but I forgot to hit the button to put it into my computer log. As far as talking to all states go, I&#8217;m missing Delaware, Rhode Island, and Vermont and I still haven&#8217;t confirmed North Dakota, Idaho, and Kentucky, though I specifically asked the guys from Idaho and Kentucky for cards.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what I get for being past the age where I would spend Friday nights out in a bar, eating dinner and drinking by myself. Now I&#8217;m at home eating Bagel Bites and drinking Scoresby, the Scotch whisky you can drink with a straw. OK, so I&#8217;m really drinking Glenmorangie, but that&#8217;s only because I was too lazy to go buy Scoresby, the Scotch whisky you can drink with a straw. It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m cheap: Glenmorangie is $40 for a fifth and Scoresby, the Scotch whisky you can drink with a straw, is $25 for 1.75L. In &#8216;Merkin measurements, that&#8217;s $25 for almost half a gallon. (To be honest, I think I really liked Suntory Yamazaki Single Malt, which was made not too far from where I used to live in Japan, and where I can sense it getting close and point it out as we&#8217;re going past it on the bullet train.)<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I got another haircut:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/haircut_4-20-12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/haircut_4-20-12-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"haircut_4-20-12\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/haircut_4-20-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/haircut_4-20-12-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/haircut_4-20-12.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know something was going on tonight and I wasn&#8217;t invited, but that&#8217;s how I feel every night on the radio.
