All for the sake of wine...

Sometimes a glass of wine just tastes good. I stopped by the store on my way home from work and, having the day off tomorrow, greatly looked forward to just relaxing whilst sipping a glass of red wine. Finding a bottle of Pinot Noir, my favorite, on sale for half off at Albertson's, I thought it was meant to be. Having worked a full day, playing golf, rewarding Tux with a spur-of-the-moment trip to the dog park and fixing dinner (leftovers), I settled in for my treat...a glass of wine. Not so fast.......I loaned our corkscrew to our neighbors 2 days ago. Realizing that and the fact that it was too late (in my opinion) to kindly ask for it back, I resorted to Google. After promptly googling "how to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew" this is what ensued.....

The Internet failed me this time, but through persistence...and needle nose pliers, I have my glass of wine. Seriously, I tried what the Internet said: 1) get a screw 2) screw it in the cork 3) gently pull it out with the back of a hammer or pliers. Ummm..not so much. Don't try it.

Anyways, as I was settling in with my glass, I hear Jimmy yelling my name from the back patio. His club was setting off a huge fireworks display for a tournament they were having and we could see it through the trees from our backyard. I grabbed the camera and tried to get a few shots of fireworks. Sure wish I new more about taking pictures, I'm sure they could have turned out much better, but this is what I got:

And, of course, Tuxedo was watching the fireworks too.....

Off to bed and looking forward to not setting an alarm tomorrow!
