On my quest to become a true jack-of-all-trades, I am now a “certified mixologist”, otherwise known as your friendly neighborhood bartender. Recently I learned that the old phrase we know about the old jack-of-all-trades has been truncated. Here is the original (and quite positive) quote:

“Jack of all trades, master of none, though ofttimes better than master of one.”

(I guess I want to be a Renaissance man, without using that title.)

It’s that time again as we get near the end of the year. Enjoy whatever holidays you celebrate and have a Happy New Year. I also want our troops home now. Much love and respect to our brave men and women serving overseas. Stay tuned for more art, music and other randomness here at the Lounge. Cheers!
