12 year old whisky and friends

due to my family´s secretiveness and my filial duties, which i take very seriously, my father standing next to me, and my mother having dissappeared in the kitchen, my sister reading on her chaiselongue some avantgarde romancier (shortly before visiting her new boyfriend in vancouver), I will shortly be out of reach and perhaps for some days not be able to come up with my usual essay, though I am looking for themes. I use these days of leisure mainly to relax and am enfeebled by our households inexhaustable resources of eateries, some of which I haven´t tasted for the best of last year´s. I sincerely hope that I will not be incapacitated by gorging myself and remain, with the best wishes for this happy season, your obedient servant, harald nicolas stazol
