chris_gerribIt's been a rather quiet week, which is okay. I didn't watch the President's speech last night, but I read it this morning, and all I can say is "amen." I will communicate that feeling to my Congressmen at the nearest opportunity.
In other news, I opened a bottle of wine with dinner last night. I planned to have a glass or two, and save the rest for a later date. When I uncorked the bottle, I smelled the cork, like one is supposed to do. I've been told that, if the wine has gone bad, you'll get a distinctive smell from the cork. Never having had a bottle go bad, I didn't know what that smell was.
Now I do. It's a vinegary smell, and when you pour the (non-sparkling) wine into a glass it bubbles like pop. So the content of that bottle went down the drain, and a new bottle was opened.
Then I promptly spilled a glass of that wine on my kitchen table.
Apparently I should have quit when I was behind.
