This is tough. If you buy something too nice for peeps that don't really like good wine you're wasting your money. If you try and buy wine for peeps that really know their wine you're likely to undershoot their preferences. I'm just a dumb ass kid from a little town in Iowa that went to an eng/ag school so I don't actually know ****. I'm not drinking from a bottle in paper sack but also not drinking from the top shelf. I have a little niche of $16-25 French wines I like. For true wine peeps I opt for a true French champagne because that's a universal. Other than French Rhone blends it's the only thing I am confident in.
I’m not a red wine drinker, but thinking out this more…..maybe a nice white wine would be best. A good desert style wine.
 
Well work went pretty well today we'll see how tomorrow goes. Hopefully this snow doesn't amount to much. Was talking to a friend up by Duluth they are supposed to get 6 to 9 inches of snow tonight. Boo that.
 
Mostly wife. I think she doesn’t understand you can adjust the volume.
When that happens I just start cranking up the volume on the TV until she complains then I say I was just trying to hear it over your phone. That usually gets the message across. I don't get "watching" TV while surfing Facebook or whatever at the same time.

Thunder and lightning. That was unexpected.

we had that and some small hail earlier. Another round is on it’s way in a couple of hours.

Ordinary winter here. Snowing and drizzle freezing **** than more snowing with high winds. Covering all of the options in the forecast for tonight:

Snow and freezing drizzle before 4am, then a chance of freezing drizzle between 4am and 5am, then a chance of snow and freezing drizzle after 5am. The snow could be heavy at times. Patchy blowing snow before midnight. Low around 28. East wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime ice accumulation of less than a 0.1 of an inch possible. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.

Might have trouble walking up the hill to feed and pet Leo the cat.

BIL died today. :( Knew it was coming soon, just glad he didn't die on Christmas. Still, hell of the thing for my most awesome sister, cool nieces and assorted grandnephews/nieces to be dealing with this time of the year (not like any time is a good time). Been thinking about that and the MASH episode where they falsified the records so it wouldn't show the soldier dying on Christmas.

Went to town today for my 1 week check. Everything looks great. Crazy as it may sound, both ankles are the same size. NO swelling on the replacement. I go back next week and get a boot, and on the 20th I start aqua therapy at MGMC. The things they can do nowadays with recovery are nothing short of amazing to me. :D
