Thursday turned into a real Blogger’s Sick Day as I left work with a dreadful migraine. And then I had to deal with some stuff I did not want to deal with, with a headache or at all. Oh dear, that sounded mysterious since I do not intend to explain. Regular readers know I consider explanations tiresome. Never mind. Suffice it to say (I love that expression, “suffice it to say”), I dealt with stuff, competently or otherwise, continued to deal with stuff Friday afternoon, and it is now Saturday morning when I hope to make my Lame Post Friday Post.
Full disclosure: I have another headache. However, it is not a migraine, and I have reasonable hopes it will go away, if not with coffee, perhaps with food and an OTC pain reliever. Enough about me; on with the post. Which may also be about me, but you will have that with a personal blog.
I don’t usually whine when I wine.
This is a shot from a wine tasting at Valley Wine and Liquor in Herkimer, NY. It was Bully Hill, a New York State wine, obviously something near and dear to my heart. There is a tasting today of Menage a Trois wines, another favorite. I thought a picture of local interest and a preview of coming attractions would be a nice change form my beloved monster pictures.
Fun bartender at a fun bar.
Here is Tino, one of my favorite bartenders at the End Zone Pub, also in Herkimer. I was there last night (not long enough to be the source of this morning’s headache, I don’t think, unless my capacity has gone WAY down in just the last few months) (SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!). It is easy walking distance from my house, which is nice. It also tends to get a nice clientele. I had a great conversation with some folks I just met. So there is another shout-out to a local business.
They were nice!
Speaking of nice people I just met, this picture was right there when I returned to my Media Library. This was a couple who sat next to me at the bar on a busy night at Fratello’s Pizzeria in Frankfort. The husband said, “We’ll be your new acquaintances.” We had a lovely visit. I gave the wife a piece of my garlic bread with mozzarella. The husband gave me one of his bucket of beers. We enjoyed the music of Tom Maneen.
Well, this has turned out to be not such a lame post after all. I wonder if I ought to bill it as a Scattered Saturday instead. In any case, over 400 words and three pictures, I call it a post. Thank you for tuning in.
