When traveling, one meets many a fine person. What better place to document interesting encounters than a whiskey journal?

- Date: Aug. 15th, 2013
- Whiskey name: Name Unknown Google Employee
- Occasion: a stop for coffee at Intelligentsia while waiting for my Visa appointment at Chicago’s Consulado General de Espana
- Nose: Sitting down next to him at the pour over bar, a conversation was not expected. Unsure of the local customs, I wasn’t going to press for verification.
- Taste: When I took out my Borges poetry book to amuse Time, he started up conversation which passed from Borges, to Neruda’s poem addressing about his fatally ill daughter, and then to Google and omniscience
- Finish: joyful, friendly, light
- Notes: An unexpected friendly encounter can not only happen to you, but can also be your initiative as many people won’t push to open an interaction but aren’t necessarily opposed to one.
