Friday night after dinner at Arnaud’s we decided to go strolling down to pirates alley for an absinthe and we met a lovely couple from Brooklyn. Debbie the wife of the gentleman who’s name I can’t remember, took these photos, sent them to us today. I wish I would have gotten a photo but c’est la vie 
I think this is at the corner of Conti & Royal. They came with us to Pirate’s Alley. She took a couple photos of us, and what the humidity did to my poor son’s hair 😂
And of course another just to ham it up

Connor & I out last night in pirates alley, getting an absinthe. This is a very tucked away, removed from the crowd place. Lovely! We had an amazing evening!

It’s a good day! Slainte!
Well folks, it was a good Holiday! The culmination of a year of hard work and rich rewards. I am incredibly grateful for this life I live and my beautiful family.
My darling Rose, without meaning to, got me all hand made gifts this year. A limited edition lithograph of Alphonse Mucha’s “Dance” from his collection “The Arts”. It’s just stunning.
She also gave me a hand blown absinthe glass with a verse-eau and s bottle of Jade 1901 absinthe verte. I’m a total geek about the Jade line of absinthe. They’re chemically analyzed reproductions from antique, intact bottles. Even their distillery is historically significant, having been redesigned by Gustave Eiffel. I could go on & on, but I’ll just link their website at the end 😂
Isn’t it gorgeous! A hand blown reproduction of a Pontarlier absinthe glass topped with a hand blown verse-eau (water pourer) so it can be prepared in the traditional Belle Époque fashion. Oh how I love the absinthe ritual. You could add sugar to the verse-eau if that’s your jam (in place of the slotted spoon). I posted a video of a louche in action earlier.
Anyway, enough bragging, I just love my Mrs. to pieces!!
