I’m still in first gear. Also, I had two martinis (red alert!) last night at an outdoor dining situation that had upward of 30 heat lamps, which was disorienting to say the least. My friend had taken me around the corner to show me how ridiculous the setup was (too many heat lamps) and before we could say no the host was ushering us into the toastiest corner in the history of outdoor dining. I pulled the ultimate power move and asked if we could switch tables because I was TOO HOT at outdoor dining. And it was below 30 degrees out. Seriously, they kept shoveling more and more elegant coal pellets into the elegant fire pyramids that were EVERYWHERE, and I thought my legs were gonna burn off. At a certain point, you need to say, “We have enough heat lamps.” People were taking off their jackets and their hats, they were sweating… we want to be toasty, but we don’t want to feel like we’re drinking elegant cocktails in hell. The beet salad was really something though… such fennel… such grapefruit… It made me feel like eating might be just a matter of gathering different kinds of plants and then sprinkling them with lemon and fine salts… I lived a life of luxury last night, but I can’t let it go to my head. You know what I will let go to my head? (Here’s one of my infamous pivots.) The Thrillist newsletter! These headlines are the elegant beet salads of the mind… so refreshing… filling yet nourishing… Topics include: an underwater national park, the latest Thrillist travel experience, Thrillist Caravan, gin cocktails, space photography, and an Irish iced coffee. As the bon vivant Austin Powers would say, smashing, baby!!!! I can feel the coffee animating my body and I feel ready to attack the day with a fervor. Did Emily Dickinson drink coffee? Off to Google. Good luck!

The mysterious and dare I say creepy beauty of this national park really strikes my fancy. You can camp, learn the region’s storied history, swim with the sharks, try avocado wine, or search for mermaids. For what is beauty without something a little tawdry thrown in for good measure? What is a crystal ocean without a shark? What is an ocean village if it has not been abandoned? What is a ship… without a wreck...

For the straightforward moments of cocktail mixing, Thrillist has compiled a list of some of the best three-ingredient gin drinks, from gimlets to a “Hanky Panky” to a “Tom Collins.” As the birds and the bees start to come out of hiding and we invite the warmer months—thank Queen Mab—gin is a wonderful, refreshing choice. A lot of these cocktails have a fun history too. The Hanky Panky, for instance, was exceedingly popular in England in 1903. Whether you want to time travel or stay firmly rooted in the present, there’s a simple gin cocktail for whatever you desire.

The two different lightning phenomena are a “red sprite” and a “blue jet” and the picture of them coming together looks like something out of Lord of the Rings. It’s one of those beautiful accidents that makes scanning the sky for beautiful accidents worth it.

God, it’s been ages since I’ve sat at a La Colombe and wondered how many thousands of dollars the man next to me’s scarf cost or how many people there were wearing clothing from The Row. I miss it. But in lieu of the in-person experience, I now have this new Irish iced coffee kit to keep me going, and just in time for St. Patrick’s Day! It’s a La Colombe Vanilla Draft Latte, some Teeling whiskey glasses, two metal straws (very chic), nutmeg, and a shaker!
