I love single malt scotch. Macallan is my favorite. But I don’t drink any scotch that is less than 18 years old. In fact, none of my Macallans are less than 25 years old.

I got this bottle when I turned 25 just under 8 years ago. I got a bottle of 30 year when I turned 30 years old even though I still have some of the 25 year left.

Over the Christmas holiday, I broke out the 25 year and had a celebratory glass with my wife – alone – just looking at the Christmas tree lights in the dark after we opened the gifts we gave each other.

The trips we took, the time we spent together, the fun we had – gifts we gave & received, company we spent our time with, the food we ate, and the drink we drank proved 2008 was, indeed, a very good year.

I went home to visit my parents this weekend and took a pictures of the sun setting.

Its hard for me, as a novice, to capture sunsets well although I’m going to keep trying until I get it right. I think sunsets are one of the most poetic events in our natural world. Its probably one of my most favorite times of the day. Even in less natural environments like suburbia, I still can’t help but be in awe of the oranges, golds, and yellows set against contrasting blues that give way to stary nights.
