I'm in Tom Cotton's district and he has a challenger for 2020. Josh Mahony.

It's a LONG shot but I'm working on it!

Box measures 9 1/4 x 11 1/2

Chill able red

Edit:. The wine is being transferred to a blue solo cup as we speak.

Wait....if I'm in a box, am I dead or alive?

At first glance, it's 63. But the ??? variables require a mathematical equation that my brain does not want to compute .

Living, I would have to pick Liz Warren and Kamala.
Actually, tonight I would invite Nancy!

If I were to choose a dead one, it would probably be JFK.

Tonight it's chillable red. A little too sweet, but goes down wonderfully.

When I can afford a bottle, I usually go for pink champagne. (I like bubbles)

I haven't been drinking in a while, but today just seems like a great day to sit on the porch and watch the world go by!

I'm picking on my guitar (sorry neighbors) and resetting my soul.

And an obligatory FUCK TRUMP!

It was from a bottle, my husband brought home a pinot noir instead of requested pinot grigio a few months ago. He's on vacation this week, so we each had a glass last night and another one tonight, in celebration of my 61st birthday.

No snobbery here, I am perfectly fine drinking wine out of a bag in a box. You can drink as much or as little as you like, at the push of a button.

How do you keep the box from breaking around the spigot? Do you think my neighbors would prefer my cello playing or my uke playing?

I am on your porch with you in spirit. Salude

become my go-to choice for table wine. Franzia Dark Red and Black Box Cab are two of my favorite boxed reds. Not too keen on white wines, but the occasional white zin is OK.

over the edge, use your arms to gather the last bits of wine, and 1/4 fill a glass!!! If that happens it is time to stop drinking alone.
