The Pursuit of Happiness

It's Monday, wine🍷 a little Antoinette.

Good morning my fellow Americans! Today of course we commemorate Memorial Day🇺🇸 ...a day to recognize those who risked and gave all in service to our country🥂. Of course it was originally on May 30, but like many other important commemorations has been moved to a Monday for convenience. Ironic that this convenience we enjoy came at the severe inconvenience suffered by others... something to think about🤔. Now don't get me wrong, nobody likes a 3 day weekend better than me...(well maybe sailors in the 7th fleet with a pass, and a port call in Honolulu)😉🍻🏄‍♂️👙... but do not forget the reason you're home today🛌, at the beach🏖, at a ballgame⚾️, playing golf🏌️‍♂️, or enjoying the oldest unisex bathroom in the world... the local swimming pool🤽‍♀️! And I'm a capitalist, if you want to take advantage of great sales, knock yourself out💸. [Segue: I'm also a Capitals Fan, and nothing says summer like a chance at the Stanley Cup🏆... one more reason to drink wine!🏒🍾] Enjoy your time with friends and family, but pay homage to the reason why. And of course the best drink to do that with is wine🍷. There are cemeteries⚰ around the world filled with the remains of soldiers who gave all to keep the world's supply of wine free from large, totalitarian, commie, fascist, Orwellian, big government, speech controlling, shrill screaming, fun robbing, VW driving, propaganda drivelling, statue fighting, history erasing, French collaborating, individual rights stealing, fireball drinking yahoos. It's our mandate to MAGA(always) and MTWSFWD (make the world safe for wine drinking) and is written down in our birthright as a country... the Declaration of Independence...it's self-evident...all men are created equal... endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights...life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...(18th century way to say drinking wine). So get your day started off right to honor the men and women who gave you a Monday for wine not whine. Remember a meal without wine is called breakfast, so Americans invented brunch🥓. I recommend something bubbly 🍾for your orange juice, or straight up with your fried chicken🍗 later in the day. If you're brunching on the Lumberjack breakfast🥞, a Saracco Moscato will do the trick. A nice Sancere will go well with your Cheetos while your sitting poolside, and when it comes to the bbq 🍔🌭later go with a nice Barolo if the meal isn't spicy, or a malbec if you like it picante.  It's the start of summer, vacay season, outdoor fun, no school, bee stings, mosquitos, sunburn and white wine. Have all the fun you can before Labor Day weekend rolls around, just remember to give thanks to those who gave the last full measure of devotion for that bbq stain on your white t-shirt... sing it Tim 

Oh a sailor's sky made a perfect sunset
And that's a day I'll never forget

I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt
She was killing me in that mini-skirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a sun tan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
A heart don't forget something like that
