box cox-ing it at fox

So Jonathan took me here a while back and it was good time, as mentioned before, Fox Liquor Bar does good things with ice. 

We went back last weekend with Ashbash and Casey. So much goodness, so many types of ice and glass:

Casey had the Negroni with the giant ice cube:

Jonathan had the Greenpoint, no ice:

Ashley had the Champ, which tasted like a caramel apple pop, but not too sweet. 

And look at all that crushed ice!

Also note Ashley's lovely nails.

And I, shockingly, got a drink without gin, the Queen's Park Swizzle:

It was awesome, similar to a mojito.  

It was a good time of course, filled with economics, due to the high concentration of economists.

Too much time with economics

Ashbash and I have decided to write a book. Not anything fancy, just an economics and regression book for college kids.  You know, real life examples to understand some of these ridiculous concepts.  

What prompted this plan? Oh, this:

What is that? Good question.  

Well, we were having a discussion about sandwiches and how the filling is always made better when you add bread. But things got complicated, so we had to write it out, with a utility function.  

What was produced? The above ridiculousness that clearly shows that bread is better than the inside of a sandwich and the bread plus the filling is better than the filling alone. But, whether the bread is better than the sandwich as a whole is dependent on the quality of the bread.  

We later added that this is complicated by a spreadable filling (aka guac, pb, etc.) since you would not eat it without bread...

Just some food for thought (hehe!)
