Yep, it’s me, playing fast and loose with the days of the week. What can I say? I’m a rebel. A rebel who’s had a horrible cold these past eleven days. Today is the first day in five that I have put on jeans and...
Clearly, I have some weeks that are better in the blogosphere than others. This is turning out to be a bloggie week. My Wine on Wednesdays blogs are not intended to be a weekly thing. They only happen when I have a truly tremendous bottle...
