Friday Night Wine-Buzz...

My wife may never become a Democrat. But she's no longer a Republican.

Thank God for small miracles...

Saturday Night Moscow Mule Buzz.

Having some dinner and drinks. Buzz thread to follow later.

How are all you Loungers tonight?...

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!

Monday Night Wine Buzz...

DON'T JUDGE ME!...

Rough day at work...

I think the schedulers are trying to kill me. I was filling in for two other providers who called in sick today, and I think they put all of the previously scheduled patients for both providers on my schedule today. I'm not kidding. At one point this afternoon, I was triple-booked.

I told myself I wasn't going to have a drink until pub trivia on Wednesday. But I came home and downed the rest of my bottle of Yellow Tail Cabernet...

Friday Night Moscow Mule Buzz.

Having some Greek food and drinks with Will Shakespeare. Ask us anything.

Thank you for my Valentine hearts!

My staunchly Republican wife is so outraged by Trump that she vows to vote "for every Democrat

on the ballot in every election" until he is gone.

If she denies that this is a wholesale disavowal of the Republican party, I'll at least take the determination to promote Democratic candidates.

She is the most unlikely Republican imaginable, unless one calls her ( as I do ) an Eisenhower Republican. She despised George W. Bush, opposed the War in Iraq, supports strong gun control, and opposes the death penalty except in the most extreme circumstances. She voted for Barack Obama twice, and readily, if not happily, voted for Hillary Clinton.

She claims to oppose on religous grounds homosexuality and marriage equality, but it's really just lip service at this point. Her assistant at work is a lesbian, and Mrs. Aristus loves her and is fiercely protective of her. I pity the fool who tries to harass her assistant; he/she will live to regret it; you don't mess with Mrs. Aristus.

Anyway, if we had more Republicans like my wife, we might one day be able to re-establish a genuine opposition party; loyal, civil, good-hearted; just what democracy requires.
