Friday Night Wine-Buzz. Trying to shake off a rotten day.

[Aristus]

I love you all...

1. Put on Malcolm Nance on MSNBC it will make you feel better

I'm drinking a screw driver

[Aristus]

2. Enjoy!

I'm watching 'Counterpart'. Pretty dark show. It's intriguing, and it's set in Germany, a country only second in my affections to my own...

[smirkymonkey]

20. Hey Aristus, we love you too!

If you love shows set in Germany and you have Netflix, there is a great series that you should watch. It's called "Berlin Babylon". It's excellent. I highly recommend it.

Hope you feel better tomorrow!

[Aristus]

21. Thank you. I'll have to take a look at it.

Thanks for the rec.

[Siwsan]

3. My choice, tonight, was some nice hard cider

Most refreshing with my fish and chips.

[Aristus]

4. What flavor? Apple? Pear? Berry?

I love cider...

[Siwsan]

5. Apple

I'm kind of a purist - pear is good but I'm not a big fan of otherwise flavor 'infused' ciders. Give me a nice, full bodied "scrumpy" any day.

[Aristus]

6. Pear cider has become my favorite ever since I discovered it.

[Siwsan]

7. I used to drink Babycham, which is a type of pear cider

I discovered it back during my early travels to London. I haven't seen it in years.

I have a pear tree, and we keep saying we should try and make some cider. Who knows - maybe this year. I have an acquaintance who makes his own hard apple cider, so we can get some guidance.

Meanwhile, maybe I'll have to do some shopping around and see if I can get some local pear cider. We actually have a new cider company, right here in Flint.

[Aristus]

8. I think you will like it.

[AJT]

9. We love you back. Hopefully you'll have a good weekend.

[Aristus]

22. Thank you.

Right now, I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning, surfing the net sitting next to my upstairs window, and having a nice, hot cup of coffee.

[TexasTowelie]

10. I'm trying to shake off a rotten week.

Having a 200 pound man grinding his knee into my chest and trying to strangle me has put me in a shitty mood.

I'm on passion fruit juice and vodka tonight.

[Aristus]

11. What the hell happened?

Did you anger a mob boss?

[TexasTowelie]

14. No.

I told my brother about the change in the tax deduction for travel reimbursement due to the new Trump tax laws and he went nuts. My brother lives in a bubble and thinks that Trump will be the next fuhrer.

He is a veteran, but has no idea what he was fighting for. He's a racist who keeps yelling seig heil and that all Democrats will kneel to Trump. He also blames everyone else for his problems, but when he drives a pickup with gun rights and Trump bumper stickers on it, then goes to work with a liberal lesbian boss and gets into a heated discussion in the hospital about politics--well, he deserves what he gets.

I would have called the law on him, but I'd be homeless if I did.

[Aristus]

16. Jesus.

Trump really brings out the psychopaths...

[In_The_Wind]

12. One good thing about today - TGIF

[Aristus]

13. Most definitely!

[In_The_Wind]

15. Trying to rescue a puppy isn't easy these days.

Looks like an hours drive each way just to fill out the application.

[Aristus]

17. I hope you find one that's worth it soon...

[hibbing]

18. Hi Aristus

I hope the next week goes better.

Peace

[Aristus]

19. Me too. Thank you.
