Gone with the Wind

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Antoinette.

March winds blow hard🌬...no I'm not talking about the Oscars...I don't watch awards shows as a rule, but can imagine that the wind storm on the left coast in La La Land (see i told you I wasn't talking about the Oscars, 🙊) last night would make this weekend's nor'easter on the right coast seem like a gentle breeze.  Hopefully, they didn't mess up the envelopes this year and kept the hysterical rants to a minimum. However, I did hear that a "remake" of Creature from the Black Lagoon won best picture, and in typical Hollywood fashion, had the obligatory sex scene...between a human and an underwater creature🙈...I always thought it was a bad thing when in the Godfather they said Luca Brasi "sleeps with the fish" but maybe I misunderestimated 🐠. I will say though this takes kissing frogs to find your prince to a whole new level🐸👑. I just hope she wasn't pressured into it...not that any guy would ever use a line like "you ain't livin', until you sleep with an amphibian" to get what he wanted...#metoo. 😉🛏 🦎 I do know that if you want to control The Shape of Water, you should fill the ice tray with some, but use most of it to mix with the fruit of the vine and then shape it with a wine bottle. I've often shared with you the benefits of wine to your well being...after all they don't warn you not to drink wine when you go south of the border, only water. And since we all know you can't believe what they tell you in Hollyweird, you better get your science from me, because while the drama kids were playing fantasy land, I was working on my science project about the many healthful benefits of drinking wine...it's the project that won't end. First of all it is scientifically verifiable that being a regular at a bar is good for you and society...it makes you social, helps the economy and gets you off Twitter. One thing about the bar scene is if you feel like saying something stupid you can't hide behind an avatar...lots of beer muscles out there. Next, in addition to the benefits we already know, now there is undeniable scientific evidence that wine fights cavities and gum disease, helps clear your skin, aids in weight loss, helps you see better, and It boosts short-term memory. Most importantly, when it comes to living into your 90s, booze actually beats exercise. Researchers have discovered that those who drank moderate amounts of wine and coffee lived longer than those who abstained. Basically speaking, wine is scientifically proven to cure all known societal, medical, and physical ills. Time to get out of the wind, head to the corner bar where everyone knows your name, and uncork a bottle of the good stuff, before your life is Gone with the Wind and say Cheers. And for those of you looking for a companion of the warm blooded variety and a little less croaky, maybe you should listen to  some advice from the Boss...

So you've been broken and you've been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah, I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But, hell, a little touchup
and a little paint

You might need somethin' to hold on to
When all the answers, they don't amount to much
Somebody that you could just to talk to
And a little of that Human Touch
