I appear to be wracked by the same disease that’s afflicting everyone else in the country. It started out with a couple days of general muscle aches. After that was the truly astonishing mucus production. Now it’s moved on to the ever-popular frog-in-the-throat. I’m on the usual cocktail of 2g of vitamin C, claritin, and chlortrimaton. Plus Nyquil for sleeping, as if drugged, through the night.
Dipped the tops of the wine bottles in wax last night. The results are as expected, but I don’t like it as much as I had expected. I want the airtight seal of wax … but with the sleek and professional look of the heat shrink foil tops. Tonight, I plan to print up labels. I’ve got a name for the white, but the red is confounding me. “Chris’s Stupid Pun Red, 2006?” That seems to be the recurring theme. It’s a Barolo, a noble variety from Italy … in case you want to help. Winner gets a bottle.
In work news, I was having a pretty good day yesterday – got a cluster totally online and cranking … with all the little lights on and everything. Then I went over to our data center and discovered that they had thrown away all our shipping crates for all our servers. Yeah, that’s going to put a crimp in my ability to return demo units and stuff.
Trick-or-treaters were very cute, until about 8:30 when they became little ruffians. We shut the door and brought in the pumpkins.
Okay, time to blow my nose again. Yuck.
