my jog today took me past a new dinery. it's one of those really quiet club-type places, but there was a guy out front doing some kind of measuring for window work or somesuch, so my running buddy axed him what was the name of the place. i just now looked it up and the news bit about it states it »«will offer an elaborate roster of cocktails mixed with house-made syrups and bitters and poured over eight types of twice-filtered ice.»« eight types of ice??!!
