happy friday!

Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
I'll be back on monday, with something with a little more me in it.

these messes i'm making

there is pinot noir on my ceiling.

last night, when the corkscrew snapped off the bottle opener, leaving me with both an irremovable cork and screw, I couldn't let things lie.


It's not enough, you see, to throw up my hands and say I tried.

So I shoved the cork back in the other way, 
and Emily and I,
we drank crunchy red wine by the fire.

This is all to say, I'm ready to give it another go.
And I'll be having my wine one way or another.
