When it comes to being convinial I am pro Vino al Vino.

From the vintner’s union of Panzano site: From a small winefestival once a year we have become a group working strongly with sustainable winegrowing & winemaking, quality control and a wide exchange of experiences. Come and visit us on the third weekend in september every year for the winefestival VINO AL VINO or one of our many other meetings during the year at the individual wineries.

When you blow into town, put up a tent and tall Jesus to separate the rubes from their money, it’s a con revival.

We’re going to go to Journey Behind the Falls this morning. Rain is supposed to come after lunch, so we’re heading out soon. Hope it’s not too long of a wait. We couldn’t find any way to make reservations online.

The Cloward-Piven on the border will not bode well for a convivial atmosphere in the country.

Sadly, I’m finding it harder and harder to have a convivial attitude, especially in dealing with those on the hard left.

I am with you. Personally, this is a very fun time in our family’s life, with our eldest daughter getting married etc. but on the whole, the situation our country finds itself in at the hands of the leftists is extremely dire, IMO.
