The occasional hamster and odd budgie found their way into my friends’ homes, but our childhood menageries were canine-free.

"Anytime, Nathan. Just come to my apartment one morning at a quarter to eight, and we can walk down her block together. You won't be disappointed, I guarantee it." And so it was that we met early the next morning and walked down Tom's favorite street in Brooklyn. I assumed he was exaggerating when he started talking

Reading from the client’s web site, your partner points out that the distillers rotate the aging barrels a quarter turn to the left every few months. You go, “Hmmm.” You read that moss on trees happens to grow faster on the sides that face a distillery’s aging house. That’s interesting. You feel the glimmer of an idea move through you.
