Welcome back! Last nights v-day was pretty great. Our wine tasting at James Cole ended up getting comped—we opted for the non-free one (as part of our Tank Garage Winery membership), but our host ended up comping it anyways. So we ended up buying a $185 bottle of wine to take home (we got a significant discount as part of my wife being industry) and made sure to leave a nice tip. Then we got dinner at Cole's Chop House—it's a place we've been meaning to check out since moving down here. I went a little overboard there too, getting a 21-day dry-aged NY steak from Allen Brothers in Chicago; I couldn't resist. Going to have to take a big break from spending money after the dent last night put in our bank account... worth it though 🤩
Here is the Grub I originally drew for yesterday, as I had to run to the pharmacy to pick up my meds.
On a related note, my wife takes meds for her ADD and they apparently have a national shortage going on, which is wild. She doesn't function very well at work without them so the coming weeks are going to be tough for her. We've tried calling around to pharmacies, but they won't let us know if they have the meds (in any form, strength, generic) in stock, so she has to get her doctor to keep sending perscriptions to different pharmacies, then we go, ask, and get turned away. Such a waste of everyone's time. It'd be really nice if they just gave us that information over the phone before we go through the effort to get the perscription sent...
Anyways... that's my rant for the day. New interview series over on foofaraw goes live tomorrow!
