Naughty/Nice/I Tried Tie o’ the Day and I were up early this morning, writing down my day’s TO-DO list. One item was of particular peculiar interest. A friend of mine has a recipe for fruitcake that requires the cake to be soaked in brandy. She’s getting ready to make the fruitcake, but she is askeered to walk into a liquor store—probably for fear someone will see her there and trash her spotless reputation. I wish I’d known she needed brandy a few days ago when I was at the liquor store picking up Suzanne’s Christmas break libations.
Anyhoo… I volunteered to go fetch the brandy for my pal. With it being less than a week until Christmas, I knew there would be a line at the liquor store. However, I did not know that getting to the store just a couple of minutes after it opened would put me 26th in line. And five minutes later, there were at least that many people behind me in the line. Everyone was masked and cordial. Everyone minded the social distancing rules. It was the longest line I’ve yet been in during this holiday season, but it turned out to also be the speediest line I’ve been in. I watched Judge Judy episodes on my phone while I waited for my turn to enter the store, so I was completely content to wait. My reputation—whatever it is—remains intact.
