Micah 6:8
John 21:9-14
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today we have a fun pair of celebrations - International Gin And Tonic Day and National Seafood Bisque Day.
Heidi and I were married on the Sunday of that weekend - a beautiful, sunny September day - which occasioned the moving of some friends' annual bash to Monday, Labour Day proper. What bash would today's commemorations bring to mind? Why, the annual gin and chowder party. A proper New England kind of thing to do, and that day it was a proper New England-seeming day. After that beautiful sunny Sunday in the 70s, Monday greeted us with a high in the mid-50s and a veritable pea-souper of a fog.
Sadly, by the time we got to the party all the chowder had been consumed, so it was only gin (and tonic!) that was left to combat the chill of that foggy day. In spite of no chowder to fill our take-home thermos, we did have a great time with friends, and have that great memory of beautiful weather on the day it mattered to us (for our outdoor reception, no less!) and dreadfully appropriate, yet totally different weather on the next day.
Cheers!
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
