Drinking in New Hampshire

May 29, 2009

I am drinking some kind of bourbon drink with marischinooooo {sic} cherries right now.  Henry Barber made it for me.  I am sitting at an island in his kitchen.

Everyone else is gone and this moment is rare.  I’ve never been to New Hampshire before but I admire the New England lifestyle.  There is something unique about it…especially if you are coming from Southern California.  I feel like the people are different although I can’t really tell how.  They are a little more outwardly serious.  Sometimes it’s hard to tell when they are joking or being mean, but I like that type of humor.

They have a rougher skin that I think sometimes people in Southern California lack.  I’m not saying I somekind of tough Bean Town guy but I like it when people are frank even though I find it difficult for myself to be.

Aside, who calls Southern California…SoCal?  I certainly don’t.
