Boring, but I like it... Sumatra in my cup.

CRussel · 10-21-2013, 01:00 AM

A glass of 2009 Burrowing Owl Syrah from the Naramata Bench in British Columbia. A lovely syrah, but two sips in and I have a raging red wine headache. Sigh.

ProfCrash · 10-21-2013, 06:59 AM

Bancha in my cup.

CRussel · 10-21-2013, 03:25 PM

Murcie's Russian Caravan today, as the fog inversion continues. I know this is "normal" for this time of year, but I'm ready for it to be done now, thank you!

Yes, the fog is a good deal worse than usual, I agree. We had that lovely spell of beautiful weather first, but then the temperature got inverted and the fog is here. I can't see down the hill to town, and this morning couldn't see across the street.

On red wine headaches -- I usually manage to avoid them. Probably 75% of the time. But sometimes it doesn't work. Here's what I do: 30 minutes before I have my first sip, I take two aspirin (ASA) with a full glass of water. Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Diclofenac, and even OxyContin don't seem to work. (But with the Oxy, you don't CARE.

) But Aspirin mostly does. But I never know why it doesn't when it doesn't, I just know that I roll the dice, and sometimes it comes up snake-eyes.

Drinking diet coke today.

poohbear_nc · 10-21-2013, 05:46 PM

I have found that drinking several full glasses of water after drinking the red wine can sometimes derail the headache.... and 2 aspirin never hurt ...

CRussel · 10-22-2013, 12:36 AM

Key is to get the aspirin early, so it's into your bloodstream before the yeast byproducts hit. But certainly, the water doesn't hurt at any point.

Tonight, I had pizza and a bottle of (cheap) sparkler. It looks like I went from no work at all, to WAY too much. I actually called someone that I had been talking to about work and declined the job. Turned out my editor at MS Press wants me to jump in and do a book that has been troubled. It will be a good seller, almost certainly, so worth focusing on it for the next 3 months. A ridiculous schedule (of course), but one I can do if I focus on only the one thing. Well, plus the tech reviews I'm doing. But NOT going to take on another project beyond that. Though as soon as I finish this, we're already talking about a completely new idea I have for a book that she's really excited about, since it lines up with something she'd been thinking of independently. If it comes together, would be a nice, steady stream for a while. Wouldn't that be a change!

That would be great; good luck.

Fresh coffee and thinking about some M&M's for a snack.

Stitchawl · 10-22-2013, 06:09 AM

Afternoon Assam tea from the East India Company, as I get ready for tonight's jam.

Wuti Shan Red Cape Oolong.

Little Man needs a one pound pumpkin at day care so we went pumpkin shopping last night. I picked out his pumpkin and he picked out mine. I had brought over a nice pumpkin, probably 20 pounds. Little Man prefered the 40 something pound massive pumpkin. So I got to push home the stroller with 42 pounds of pumpkin and 30 pounds of LM. I wear a pedometer these days but I am reasonably certain that those steps contained extra exercise...
