I was trying to stay humble this evening. Although MSU's 2016 class seems to be at critical mass right now, I keep reminding myself that "there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip."
That ancient proverbial warning was still flitting through my mind just now as I began to shake up a celebratory martini -- my own particular twist on James Bond's famous "Vesper" which I make from vodka, Plymouth Naval Strength, Lillet and orange bitters and call the "Navy Prayer." As I inverted the shaker to fill my chilled cocktail glass, I felt my fingers freeze to the shaker and stupidly attempted to free them. The shaker suddenly slid from my grip and crashed to the floor, spilling out four ounces of vodka, two ounces of Naval Strength and an ounce and a half of Lillet.
I stared for a moment, then I thought: if that's the worst that can happen with this class, I'm proud I took one for the team . . .
Go Green!!!!
