The first time I had to “let someone go” my boss told me it would get easier. It never has. It still bothers me for months. Actually, it’s not something I ever get over completely. I think it’s the worst thing about managing of any kind. Just thought I’d share that.
Omfg. I was waiting for a punch line and realized none was needed.

The race for the Arkansas’ third congressional district took a gruesome turn on Sunday, when the campaign manager for Democratic challenger Ken Aden came home and found his cat slaughtered with the word “liberal” painted on the corpse.
According to a press release sent out by the Aden campaign, “The family pet, an adult, mixed-breed Siamese cat, had one side of its head bashed in to the point the cat’s eyeball was barely hanging from its socket. The perpetrators scrawled ‘liberal’ across the cat’s body and left it on the doorstep of [Jacob] Burris’ house.”
I feel sorry for all the animals of the world, having to put up with and share the planet with selfish, using, disgusting people, who see no harm in inflicting pain and suffering onto another living creature.

Do you know the old story of Beringer? You should. This is just one of those Chardonnays you can get at the supermarket, but it is rather nice. It smells like a piece of buttered toast. It tastes like apricot and vanilla. It’s a solid wine, but I love it for the nose more than anything. It’s one of the most incredible wines I’ve ever tasted.
I really want to try this wine.
I get alerts when someone says “Darjeeling” on the Internet because my restaurant is called “Darjeeling Café.” this appeared in my inbox, and it swept me away a bit. I so wish I could wake up at Clove Hall with a cup of Darjeeling waiting for me.
