My ABCs

I borrowed this one from Lorem who pilfered it from someone else who probably stole it from another person.... ad infinitum. That's the way these internet things go I guess. Anyway, I thought it would be a worthy diversion while waiting.... for whatever it is I'm waiting for at the moment.

B is for booze of choice: Red wine, usually an Australian Shiraz

R is for biggest regret: I don't have any huge ones. But the small ones are things I didn't do and wish I had done. Like, I spent a week in Jordan in my 20s and didn't go see the famous carved caves or whatever they're called. Stuff like that.
