Dear God ('scuse the familiarity)thought you were omnicient and knew the answer already..but since you don't ...nothing particularly 'wrong' with Jameson, just remarking that there IS better...God ought to at LEAST drink Tullamore Dew in the crock, or 25 year old MacAllans...or one of those $600 brandies I have seen...(if I agree to believe in you on alternate weekends , can I have some of THOSE??

Hi, kendall.
