Not really, but I did become skilled at window shaking belches.

Make a nice Vernors Hi-ball. Purely medicinal to recover from today's yard and garden work.

I don't know if you've ever tried the Faygo's 'Gold' Ginger ale, but it's fantastic. Not their regular ginger ale. GOLD ginger ale.

I also tried the new Canada Dry "Bold" ginger ale. Meh.

Especially if we had a cold. Just thinking about it is comforting!

I also preferred Canada Dry back in the day.

I do respect the history, though!







And, for fun:



Feel better!

sure has it's fans. Six years ago when I lived in NY, I told co-workers that we were taking a vacation to the Midwest, and one of them asked me to pick her up some Vernors when I went through Michigan. She was delighted to see I came back with a twelve pack instead of just a six pack.

He was, like, cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs about it. He drank it for 100 years, literally. (Probably not as a baby or toddler)

I see you can pick up a 12-pack at my local Target (not in Michigan, btw). But I’m not going to Target. Or anywhere. Maybe ever again. Help.

2020 - who thought there was going to be a worse shit show than the tail end of 2016?
