Not so Total Wine

 Yesterday was busy.  The weather was nice, with the sun popping out from behind the clouds regularly to brighten up the day.  Throughout most of the day, the temps hovered in the mid 40s (F).  I work today, so I haven't really be paying much attention to the forecast.  Tomorrow?  Rain is in the picture.  Possibly 3 inches of rain.  Forecasters are warning of possible flooding because we do still have some snow cover, with around 2 inches remaining.

I did spend the early part of the day in York, with my friend Betsy.  We did our usual Chinese buffet and Dairy Queen desert.  I had a Snickers Blizzard, and decided it wasn't that good; the chunks of caramel were too large.  

And, of course, last night we had our associate holiday party.  The only reason I go is for the food, and last night it was... iffy.  There was fish, possibly tilapia, which was truly flavorless, a chicken cordon bleu (?) that had come packaged and only reheated, and shredded roast beef that required artificial flavoring.  I can remember when the roast beef was actually sliced for you; those days are gone.  I don't drink, but the cash bar was expensive, so I stuck with the premixed lemonade and water.  The biggest surprise was that I won one of the drawings!  A gift card from Total Wine!  I never win anything, so I was really pleased... until I got home and discovered that the gift card could only be redeemed at a Total Wine store, and the closest store is in Towson, Maryland.  There's no way I'm going to drive 65 miles for a bottle of wine, so, in an odd sort of way, I didn't win anything.

And the Golden Globes were last night.  I didn't watch them, never do, but I'm wondering if this is going to be the year of Oppenheimer?  

And it looks as though the Democrats and Republicans have managed to put their heads together and come up for a funding plan for the country.  Now, isn't that nice.

Most of the political news is going to be about Iowa Caucus.  Wow.
