It’s Saturday, so I’m grateful for: coffee and Mozart, a ferry ride to the Farmer’s market, an armload of fresh produce and flowers and the FT Weekend edition. I’m grateful for a clean kitchen. I’m grateful for the chance to find myself. I’m grateful to be sober today.
Yes, this picture is a repeat. I was in Midtown one evening and saw that and took a picture. I was looking at it the next morning and realized that the reason I was struck by it the night before was that I had always loved this:

Please note: No money actually changes hands during the Alcoholic Lighting Round, unless you’re wagering on it at home with friends.
If only I could coax him into doing Breakfast with an Alcoholic…
Thanks for the shoutout! I’d be more than happy to do Breakfast With an Alcoholic if you’ll have me.
