Tommy says, "high tech, schmigh tech," simplify your life.
As I was riding my fifteen year old rock solid steel frame Eros, Bianchi road bike (Bianchi, green.) I was passed by a whirlwind pack of road bikers with their high tech carbon composite frame machines, synthetic one piece suits, aerodynamic helmets, Polar heart monitors and Global Positioning Systems. Further down the road, I passed and elderly man walking in a yellow Polo shirt, Bermuda shorts, canvas sneakers, listening to a 1960's vintage hand held transistor radio via a single earphone with an old dental mirror duck taped to the side frame of his thick glasses so he could see who was rapidly approaching from behind. Oh yeah, he was also wearing the biggest s*** eating grin on his old weathered face! Who is enjoying life more? High tech, schmigh tech. Sometimes the simple things in life are the best. For example, a Scotch single malt whisky distilled the same way for over 1300 years. Tonight, after an high stressed, high anxiety, wired day, unwind with a dram of The Balvenie, 15 year old. Pale gold, with an oak nose, cedar orange and pineapple taste with a peppery finish. Slainte, Tommy Maaltman
