   Had intentions to mow the front yard today, overnight rain has changed those intentions.

   Wordle in 4. I don’t think today’s was a tough word, like KEFIR or Jenka’s word last week.

   Another half inch of rain- haven’t looked this morning. Had to get on the trainer for a solid half hour last night. Felt good.

   I’m ready for some college football… still 2 week to go.

     I think it’s just as weird, and seldomly used in conversation, or at least my conversations.

     Haven’t looked at WLF’s rain gauge. I’d guess it caught 1/4”, just enough to make the grass too wet to mow.

     I’ve given up on American Football. To me the college game is now no different than the professional game.

       5/8”, I stand corrected!

   Stayed in and made baked chicken with a medley of roasted cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and olives. Watched a miserable Red Sox game where we lost the series to the Astros.

   Today I am in an all day faculty retreat. Kill me now.

   Went to a THC beverage tasting last night – put on by the wine store where Annette is a wine club member.
   It was pretty interesting – the beverages were called Senorita – there were 3 margarita type drinks – all 70 calories- Grapefruit Paloma, Mango Margarita & Jalapeño Lime. They were all tasty enough. They come in 5mb & 10mg options.
   The “salesguy” was pretty interesting – learned a lot about the industry – and how even thought these drinks are legal, its still hard to get them distributed.

   I do have to say, I never felt high, but did feel maybe a little more relaxed, and I did sleep well last night. I like the idea of no hangover when drinking these.

     I have a girlfriend who drinks these on occasion and she says it gets her really high. I also like the idea of just having a few sips and then no hangover.

       from what Ethan said (how did I remember his name, I don’t know) there are tons of different varieties, with different strengths.
       I’d have to do more research – and I’m worried about not liking the taste of some. The wine shop is doing 2 more tasting, one with United Distributors, and 1 with Scofflaw. (the Scofflaw tasting intrigues me)

     It’s another of those words that never are used by itself, it’s always used with another word.
