Beverages with Bruce: anim

anim = "six" in Tagalog

Happy almost New Year Beverages with Bruce! Thanks for pulling up a chair and joining me for the final check-in of 2025. What?!?!?

As always, Paid Subscribers get a little more detail (the first one was unlocked), but here is a quick summary of the past few week's head, heart, and gut check-in.

• Bruce's Beverage: Barakat Single Barrel, Single Malt, Small Batch, First Release Whiskey made and purchased in Palestine as seen on The Gram
• Back from Palestine: It's always difficult to answer the questions that everyone naturally asks, "How was it?" so suffice it to say, it was simultaneously heartbreaking and holy. As as international visitors, we see things through a different lens, but as ones who attempt to see things through Palestinian eyes AND have developed relationships with Palestinians, we can also attest to the ongoing oppression that they experience under occupation and apartheid life.
• Disruption: There is a certain amount of privilege one must possess to be able to entertain possibilities that could bring about great disruption to one's life. Never one to shut down conversations, I'm always down to take a phone call. Most never pan out, but who knows?
• RCP Family Move Update: We are hitting pause, maybe, sorta, kinda, -Ish.
• From the Camera Roll: It was a calm, Christmas, as it should be.
