Frozen Tuesday chat

Cold here too, but we've got you beat by a degree.  A whooping 8 but feels like -2.  I'm so ready for winter to be over, and we haven't been blasted anywhere near as badly as you guys have.

If the Great Lakes are frozen, I'm guessing the bays are as well, so any huge fans of Michigan wines might be in for a bad year.  They say that the bay and Lake Michigan protect the peninsulas where most of the wineries are, keeping the weather less extreme..  Sounds like that isn't happening this year.  Some excellent wines come from those peninsula's, and many people depend on the harvests for their living.

Today is my north county day.  Makes for a long day but it's usually worthwhile.  Starting to make inroads up there, but need to get more accounts going.  TWO newspapers have shut down in that area, so those folks are ripe for a new place to advertise.......

Julie, fingers crossed that your day goes well.

The sun is out!

I completely forgot what I was going to post.

Oh yeah, I was sad to see that Shirley Temple passed away. I have fond memories of watching her movies with my mom on Sunday mornings when I was a kid.

I was surprised to hear of Shirley Temple's passing, too.  I know 85 isn't YOUNG, but that's younger than my mother-in-law and many of her fellow residents at the retirement community, so my first reaction was to feel surprise.  

Glenda, I didn't realize there were wines that hailed from the Great Lakes area.  I hear often how weather extremes can seriously affect the wine industry here, whether we have very dry, hot summers and autumns, like we did this year (which is supposed to be good for grapes) or whether we have soggy seasons, too much cold, etc.  It's definitely a weather-centric industry!

Julie, that villain looked familiar to me, but I didn't know if they'd showed him in earlier episodes or if I just recognized him from other movies or shows.  He is a perfect villain.  I wonder if the poor guy ever gets cast as a nice character?  His "look" seems to scream villain!

Edited to add:  I'm also eager to see how they bring Moriarty back.  He's a great villain too, but he's got a humor factor going for him.
