This is my mom’s worst nightmare.

The short guy and I mixed up another batch of wine this evening. I always like having two batches going at once. Bottling one batch of wine is a bit of work, but bottling two batches is surprisingly not twice the work, so that is my reason. Plus it’s always cool to add fifty-plus bottles of wine to the wine rack in one day.
I’m still waiting for my other three kits to arrive. One was supposed to come in January, but hasn’t been shipped to my supplier (Thomas Feed Mill) yet. The second is scheduled for March, and the third for April. And, I really, really think I’m going to mix up a batch of Strawberry-Zinfandel this summer. It isn’t definite, but if I manage to catch some strawberries on sale somewhere, I’m going to do it.
today’s health news
Is this the freakiest thing you’ve ever seen in your life or what?
And, I don’t know why I even read stuff like this. I should get a hypochondriac filter for my web browser. It would save me a lot of stress. Just remind me to get a flu shot next year. At least I’ve prepared myself for this by reading Stephen King’s The Stand about a half dozen times. The real question is–if you survive the pandemic, will you go to Boulder, CO or Las Vegas, NV?
another birthday dinner
My mom’s all about celebrating birthdays, so she had us over today and made a delicious dinner in order to properly celebrate Brian’s birthday. It was an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. And, Brian didn’t have practice this evening so we didn’t have to rush home like we always do. So, I guess this concludes Brian’s Week-Long Birthday Celebration.
Jake was plum-tuckered out on the ride home and slept for most of it. Pappy always tires him out. It took him a bit to recover from his nap, but he seems rather chipper right now. I hope he goes to sleep tonight because I want check out the Saturday Night Live special that’s on at 9:00 (and not be interrupted every 5 minutes while I’m doing so).
