Jamie:
First of all, you look spot on!
Now, I have a question about that martini (I'm assuming it's a martini). Do I detect ice cubes? Do you drink your martini on the rocks, rather than up? I know there are those who do, but that would be the first pictorial evidence I've seen of someone drinking a martini on the rocks.

Scotus,
I am enjoying a Gibson.
A Gibson is a Martini with two cocktail onions in place of the one olive.
As I understand it the term "Martini" can be used for any of the following drinks made with either gin or vodka.
Martini (made with the spirit of choice and a small measure of vermouth and garnished with an olive)
Dirty Martini (same as above but with a small amount of the olive juice added to the drink)
Gibson ( same as above but garnished with two cocktail onions)
The reason one uses a cocktail glass for drinks that are served cold but without ice is that the stem prevents the drink from warming up from the heat in one's hands.
I have had a Lemon Drop or Kamikaze on the rocks but always in a double old fashioned glass. The cocktail glass doesn't hold enough liquid to make it a good choice to use it for drinks that require ice.
Subsequently drinks in cocktail glasses should be drunk fairly quickly to enjoy them at their peak.
There is a funny saying about how many martinis one should drink
"Martinis are like a woman's breasts, one is far too few, and three far too many!"
Cheers
Jamie

I appreciate the education.
BTW, I like the red tie. Since that is the only red visible, I was wondering if you were wearing red hose or flashes. And.... I love the watch fob! Spot on!

Thank you for the kind words and you deduce correctly, my red flashes match the tie.
Cheers

I agree, which is why I was surprised to learn recently that there are those who try.

Gentlemen, such is always our lot in life. No matter how good we look, the fairer sex always outshines us. The best we can hope for is to form the other half of an outstanding couple.
