Ah, if it wasn't for this blasted heat, it would almost feel like Fall! There are signs of Fall all over. Many wine makers are knee deep in crush, as the taste the first fruits of the year coming off the vine. This time of year, it is hard to get an appointment with a wine maker unless you are somehow associated with the process of crush, as time is of the essence! Another sign Fall is almost here if of course the NFL is back on Sundays! YEAH! Now I will be the first to admit that when I watch the Cowboys pummeling their weekly opponents, I enjoy a frosty cold beer, at least early in the season. This Sunday I happened to be enjoying Mendocino Brewing Company's Seasonal White Ale, somewhat like a Belgium Wit Beer. As the Fall gives way to Winter and the leaves have all gone away, the temp outside gives me some more options, and I will most likely be enjoying something red. Also, by then, my Cowboys are making a run for the play-offs, and in case they choke (last two years!) I need something stronger than a beer!So today the Cowboys won against a better than average Browns team, and so things around the house are good! Man, I really mope and pout when the Cowboys lose, but at the minute, I am HAPPY! The temp is still over 90 degrees outside, but I promised the boys I would go outside and be a Sith Lord to their Jedi Knights. Soon plastic light sabers will be crashing and clanging as they try to defeat me, but maybe this afternoon, the Siths are due a win. I am still jazzed from my Cowboys win, and today, there might be a Blue Star under that black Sith robe!
I love Fall, I just wish it would get here sooner!
