1. Mercer Brothers Small Lot Merlot Horse Heaven Hills 2020. 🍷
2. Replaced the last pair of fluorescents in the kitchen light fixtures with LEDs. All 6 (in 3 twin tube 8-foot fixtures) are now long-life LEDs.*
3. Was able to find T12 8-foot long LEDs to replace the pair of fluorescents that were failing.*

Bonus: Happy Equinox!

*Don't get me started on the previous owner's kitchen lighting...

Even after the Citizens United decision, @PeachMcD, Barack Obama was president, and he gave Democrats much to be proud about. The best thing that badly flawed Joe Biden did was to get Ketanji Brown Jackson onto the Supreme Court. Her decisions make me proud. Last year's election of Mayor Mamdani, Gov. Sherrill, and Gov. Spanberger were also things to be proud about.

1. The NJ Devils beat the fucking Rangers 6-3 on Rangers home turf. And the announcers were bagging on the Rangers the entire time.

2. Mother in law is here and being cool, so far. Sometimes she gets weird. Tomorrow we will be able to spend some time together and see what happens.

3. I read some tonight and am halfway through Neil Gaiman's "American Gods". It's weird and good, but I doubt I'll read his other works.
