Neal’s Blood & Whiskey #20

[Jim Ruland]

Great stuff! I'm going to have to check out that Jane Smiley book!

[Neal Thompson]

Thanks! Yeah, the Smiley - a bit quiet, but really good.

[Jonathan Shoemaker]

Neal you are a gift to the rest of us. The whole left in my life by Marilyn Stasio’s retirement from the Times has been filled!

[Neal Thompson]

Ha! Thanks Jonathan -- happy to be your Marilyn.

[Rian van der Merwe]

Thanks for the mocktail recommendations! I can also recommend local Portland joint Wilderton: https://wildertonfree.com/

[Neal Thompson]

Thanks Rian! I'll check out Wilderton. Still 10 dry-ish days to go.
