Reasons to Love Nancy Keenan

Jill

Well, there’s this whole interview, but especially the last question:

Last month, you announced that you’re stepping down as president of NARAL after the 2012 election. What are you going to do with your time?

Keenan: Fly fish in the morning, drink scotch in the afternoon. I’m going back to Montana. People think I’m running for office and I’m like, “NOOOOO!!!!”

“Fly fish in the morning, drink scotch in the afternoon” sounds about perfect (and if anyone has earned it, it’s Nancy). Except I’ll do yoga and then read some books while you fly fish, and I like my whiskey bourbon. Can I come visit?

Alternately, Nancy and I can start the Jill and Nancy Center for Fly Fishing, Yoga and Whiskey, which will replace the long-standing Jill Filipovic Center for Coffee, Yoga and Bourbon, currently located in my apartment. I have a feeling this new project will be a hit among fully burnt-out feminists.

  3. I’m in. I have some Macallan 25 I’d be willing to share. If you add writing to the list you might get Mr. Kristen’s extensive bourbon collection in addition to his Yamazaki 18 which is quite delicious for not being Scottish.

  6. Will Woodford Reserve and Maker’s Mark 46 serve as the price of entrance? I cook a mean fish and my chaturanga is improving.

    BTW, bourbon is an American corn whiskey, first made in Bourbon County KY. A fine single malt is a lovely thing, but it isn’t bourbon.

  7. Why fish and then drink? Do both at once! Fishing and drinking go together like…. fishing and drinking!

    Though to really do it properly the appropriate drink is beer. I recommend anything from the Kona Brewing Company, though their Koko Brown is my fave. (Sadly, hard to find on the mainland.)

    I will even gut and clean your catch for you. I’m not squeamish.

  9. Yes, but you and Mr. Kristen will have to work out visitation of the Scotch collection. I should warn you that my addiction to Master of Malt will likely bankrupt us all. On the plus side we’ll have tasted all the world’s best single malt.

  10. Do you have a book called “1001 Whiskies to Try Before You Die?” THAT is going to bankrupt me and Mr. Meredith as we work our way through it.

  11. No! I bet if we combine the forces of your book and my website we would be the happiest bankrupts OF ALL TIME!
