Lordy, what a year, eh? On both macro and micro
levels. How do I deal with it on the final Gratitude Monday? Um…
Well, here’s what I’m thankful for: that on the
trip I took because I had to use or lose three weeks of vacation, I discovered
Pousse Rapière as an apéritif. And that I bought a bottle of the orange-infused
Armagnac before I left Paris. And that—although it took hitting two Nicolas wine
shops, I found the last bottle in the 6th, apparently, and the wine
shop guy offered to put it in a box when I told him I was taking it back to the
US with me. And that it made it here—neither broken nor filched en route.
Because it makes a lovely Kir Royal apéritif and
it doesn’t look like you can buy it here.
So this is what I’ll be washing away the taste
of 2018 with.
For the rest of it, here’s Dave
Barry’s take on the year. I’m grateful for Dave, too.
