1,000 positive ratings. WOOT!

What does that mean? How does that work?

Really ... That's pretty good. Ravenwood? OVZ?

I almost got Ravenwood and then promptly forgot that I didn't have Ravenswood! It was a bit chaotic as it always is wit my sisters.

I have had Ravenwood and like it a lot but at the last minute I grabbed a different one to try something new, so I got a 90+ Ninety Plus Cellars Lot 91 Reserve Zinfandel. I thought it was nice.

Anybody see Gone Girl?

Haven't seen it, won't see it. I read the book for a book club I'm in. Interesting plot and it seems well-suited for Hollywood, but that's actually why I didn't like the book. It read kind of like the author specifically wrote it with a movie option in mind. I finished it because I wanted to see what happened at the end (disappointing) and because I'm a bit OCD about finishing books, but the writing was too intrusive and ham-fisted for my tastes.

I was calling it pretty good until the end.

I made my sisters watch football last night.

LOL!

 

[Gary A.]

Then they wanted to watch a movie.

I like movies. Last night we had peoples over for dinner and a tour of the backyard.

 

[Gary A.]

But it was already getting late, so they decided to watch the first episode of "Outlander."

I've never seen it.

 

[Gary A.]

They both watch and love the series and thought that I needed to get hooked on it as well.

Are you now hooked? What's it all about?

 

[Gary A.]

I don't actually get Starz, though, so even if I got hooked on that first episode, I would not be able to watch the rest.

Watch at your sister's place. (Or ... you could possibly subscribe.)

Need nap.

You just got up...

 

[Gary A.]

I was shot, though. I'm a night owl but I've been trying to establish a more consistent bedtime/waking time routine, so I'm now used to getting to bed earlier than 1:30.

There no magic in bedtime consistency, just as long as you get your 12 hours in, who cares when those hours fall.

We have quite a few cannibals on this site don't we ?

 

[Gary A.]

So I went to bed and they stayed awake.

They probably talked about you when you left.

 

[Gary A.]

Now they are asleep still and I've just finished my first cup of coffee.

Coffee is good.

 

[Gary A.]

And I woke up late at 8:30! Normally I get up at 7:30 but on a Sunday morning after a sisters' sleepover, I thought I would allow myself some leeway.

I get up around 6:00 a.m. just so Mary Lou will have a fresh cup ready for her.

 

[Gary A.]

I know 7:30 is late for a lot of you super-early risers, but for me it's an accomplishment to maintain this as a wake-up time even when I don't have to work (which doesn't even start until 11 on MWF this semester.)

11:00 a.m. is a good starting time.

If I followed my body's natrual tendencies, I'd wake up later, but I'd also be in bed much later, too. Like 3am.

Guys should never follow their natural tendencies ... it's okay for women.
