Well, my wife and family enjoy the drinks. Most of my family was in town this weekend and I pulled out my mugs along with BOT and Tiki Quest. While they were enjoying their drinks, I pointed out the mugs that I have that are in the books. That sort of got them interested. What really helped was when my mother, looking through BOT, said she had been to many of the restaurants. I never knew this about my mother, and it opened up a whole new line of communication between us.

My co-workers don't get it. They just think I'm wierd. My long-time friends are all wine snobs (I love to drink their wine, but I wouldn't pay for it) but the can't think outside the glass.

Today I discovered that some of my older bosses at work used to go to tiki bars. I had to explain why I got flagged at work for an inappropriate e-mail. I got 8 points for using the word bastard. I was so happy that I finally got a suffering bastard that I e-mailed a friend. Immediately the e-mail cops sent me and all my bosses a notice and point total. I showed them the e-mail and a few of them laughed and we had a great conversation.
