Sprints

Do you remember the 20-second drawing thing? Here I go with five sets of one-minute bursts and 1O seconds between each of them? Well, counting down …

No scotch at hand, so I am making do with a glass of wine. I get to have a sip between each of my sprints. Each one of these is a thing I get to do. Yeah, like …

I have some wine at hand, in my mouth, and well what did you expect for each thing? To gurgle it down  OK let’s see what you have.

Not a tough guy here, I am utilizing the wine, like Hemingway and his writer pal did while out in the rain and fishing and drinking drinking a bottle each oh those…

Utilizing the wine that is what they did on that day, in the 20s was it? They utilized it all right. That they did I am not as drunk drunk yet. Where they?

A whole lot of happenings as we wondered about the lost manuscript and the lost bell. And the lost innocence. Yes, yeah, innocence. They had plenty of it then. As much as they could…

It would be good to have remembered the name of the other writer. Was it Fitzgerald, F. Scott? I think so. Judging by his biography in Wikipedia, he is the guy who I wanted to name earlier. He died at 44 due to alcoholism. Damn, that took a lot of work. To die in such a manner at such a young age. It is not like ODing on drugs. Much easier way to die young.

Utilizing white wine, who remembers that reference? Cooled in a stream. Not like the red wine I have at hand, room temperature. A couple more sprints before I go for the night.

Ah, Italy, a home to a barrel in the way serving red wine, and it was kinda fizzy. And it was served out of the barrel. That was a way to go. Along with the food…

But Spain, well at least in southern Spain where they serve tapas along with your drink, A beer, a glass of wine and they provided you with a snack. Sliders for one ….

We hope to return to Spain this fall. We have friends that will be there then. OK, so you don’t get tapas with drinks in Madrid but, the food is cheap so what the heck …

We will enjoy it and the company will make it all the more enjoyable then. (where is the damn bell on this typewriter? errrr )

We perhaps will end up in Mexico, Though with all the Frequent Flyer miles…

Well, that kinda seems like we will get vaccinated. And with that
ready to go. We can travel again.
