Episode 67: Just the three of us!
09/04/2024

In this episode, Julienne, Suzanne, and I catch up on what we've been doing. Julienne has been in a photographic funk, which is normal for a lot of people. Suzanne has set up her own photo studio. I've compulsively continued to shoot 35mm SLR cameras, where I feel at home. I also make a faux pas, as you'll hear, when I give a correction to Julienne about the Long Trail here in VT, which I regret. But we had a good discussion. Hope you all enjoy, and thank you Julienne and Suzanne, for being my wonderful cohosts!

In this episode, I had the privilege of chatting with Ted Breaux, master distiller and owner of Jade Liqueurs. We had a nice discussion about his history with absinthe, absinthe in general, and his line of absinthes he's created with a deferential nod to the past. Sante!
