another photo

Here’s a better photo of me in the tuxedo … a Manhattan in one hand, our apple martini-lovin’ new member at large in the other.

And here’s one of me, H. and two other Flyers after the Manhattan half.

Hey! I didn’t think anybody else younger than 60 drank Manhattans! Excellent.

I credit fellow V.C. alum Rich Miniter with introducing me to the drink ~~when I was 19~~ many moons ago.

Didn’t know it had a reputation as an old person’s drink, though! According to the Wikipedia article on Manhattans, legend has it they were invented at the Manhattan Club, so it’s appropriate I was drinking one there.

The Manhattan is excellent drink, but one does get the occasional stare when one orders it. A date once told me it reminded her of her grampa because that is what he drank. Wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not.
