President’s Day
It was a day off for most people today, but not for me. Still I was able to jettison a work responsibility that has been like a ball and chain for far too long- so holiday it was. I felt a foot taller and like a 100 pound weight was lifted off my back. Sort of celebrated by opening some Sake with my chicken and pasta. Chased that with some cinnamon buns and while my palate was confused – it was pleasured.
This could be the beginning of a new adventure down a long rice wine highway. The stuff has a bit more of a kick, yet isn’t quite hard liquor either. The clear stuff was pretty smooth going down, and I hear the cloudy Sake is good too. Memories from my younger days come flowing forward – when my grandpa made rice wine, and was pretty liberal with sharing it with his clientele. I did try it a couple times, but no clear memory rings loud.
I wonder if the markets will finally take off here as the charts look like its leaning sideways and could break through to the upside. Holiday today – but tomorrow might signal some clues to a new direction. Long term outlook is still to the downside, but a little pop here is due.
