Friday Night Rum Buzz. Ask me anything. [View all]

A shot and half of coconut rum to finish off the old bottle. Now, a Daiquiri with the new bottle of white rum I just picked up.

Believe it or not, I’ve never had a Daiquiri before. Rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Yummy! The perfect summer drink.

The country is sinking deeper into the shit, but at least I had a great day in clinic. I did high quality clinical medicine, met with a lot of nice people, and got to visit with one of my homeless patients from the old days.

It was good to see him again. He’s a total sweetheart. Love him to death.

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I love you all…
