Sometimes You Get More Than You Pay For

Case in point: the promotional gift that just arrived on my desk with an invitation to a luncheon celebrating tourism in the state of Kentucky. It’s a miniature baseball bat from Louisville Slugger, about 15 inches long.
Travelling Through Egypt

Not much of a testimonial for this classic brand of Vermouth, but I digress.
