A few words about alcohol: We get the idea that a lot of people are using their downtime around their homes to drink a lot. That’s not how it works for us, exactly. We, the adults here, usually have a drink in the evening, but that’s usually it.
In fact, our recent practice is to share a pint-sized can of beer a little before dinner. That’s a cup apiece. We got in the habit because of our friend and Jen’s co-worker Dan, who often brings cans like this back for us when he visits Vermont. Half a can is enough for us. Thanks, Dan.
Of course, one could argue that this led us to break our quarantine a few days ago in order to visit Smiley’s Discount Beverage at the Big Bend in Dover. It’s really only breaking quarantine if you consider beer a non-essential item. Our governor, upon announcing a stay-in-place order last week, specifically mentioned breweries as essential businesses. True fact.
