Hi... thanks for voting in the 2015 Annual Short Story Competition finals.
I submitted one of my stories "Happy Endings" into the contest.

Critiques here on litnet have always been greatly helpful and helped me improve a lot. As you have already read the story, I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on the story on this thread->

Sorry to bother you. Thanks for reading the message.

That's fascinating! I'm reminded of a Rumi quote, "Travel brings power and love back into the life." :-)
Here is a lovely song for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUCUATiOolw
I'm glad you are well - I'm having fun too, but I prefer to stay in one place these days; have been exploring poetry and peace ;-)
Very glad you are still around Manichaean

I can't say I have tried the honey variant and certainly not in combination with Jack. I recall trying the WT rye, but wasn't too keen on that, no, just give me the straight WT 101.
Makers Mark is another favorite of mine. Haven't tried Old Knob though, I'll keep an eye out for it.
Cheers
