7/26: sipping

...a drink on the porch amidst occasional hints of a night breeze:  tequila, lime juice, basil/mint syrup (which I made), and seltzer water.  When we first moved to Conway, a senior colleague in my department used to invite us over for dinner frequently--and he made great cocktails.  (In fact, he's the only person I know of whom I could say "he made great cocktails!")  For a bunch of reasons those dinners stopped happening, but my drink tonight makes me remember them fondly.
