In case you hadn’t heard, it’s been kind of a bad week of losing exceptionally influential people.

Dr. Wayne Dyer passed away August 29th, quite unexpectedly in his sleep.

I don’t know about you, but I loved this guy.  He was so brilliant & inspirational.  I have several of his books…have even read a few :bashful: & am eager to read more.  And I love to watch his presentations/speeches.  PBS plays them once in a while & I always try to tune in.  I’ve learned a lot from him, & am sad I won’t get the chance to learn more from his future endeavors.

Wes Craven, director & master of the horror genre, passed away August 30th after a battle with brain cancer.

In case you didn’t know, I adore horror movies.  The Last House on the Left … The Hills Have Eyes … A Nightmare on Elm Street … Scream … Swamp Thing … The Breed … Red Eye …  These are a few of my favorite things, & I have him to thank for them.

They say death comes in threes, which has me a little worried.  I hope no one else wonderful & whom I admired passes away this month. :squirrel:

Can you even believe it’s September already?  Eep! :shocked:

But since it is, how about this for an uber-appropriate Dungeon cocktail? :dancin:

Kentucky Corpse Reviver

3/4 ounce Elijah Craig Bourbon
3/4 ounce Pierre Ferrand Curaçao
3/4 ounce fresh juice from 1 lemon
3/4 ounce Lillet Blanc
mint sprig (optional)

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add bourbon, curacao, lemon juice, and Lillet Blanc.
Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds.
Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with mint sprig.

Enjoy! :squirrel2:
