I don&#8217;t know how to spell it, and this whole situation has rendered me too lazy to look it up, so I&#8217;ll just throw a made-up abbreviation out there and hope for the best.  Once again, predictably, I have no material to work with.  I could review the 47 movies I watched over the weekend, but everyone probably saw them years ago.  I don&#8217;t recall any of them being particularly notable either.  (One exception might be &#8220;The Assignment.&#8221;  You may not have seen that one.  If not, don&#8217;t.)  On the big house selling front, we do have some big news!  No, no we don&#8217;t.  Nothing.  Total silence.  No offers, no showings, no nothing.  Bah.  We&#8217;re just about to pull it off the market and accept our fate in the hellish &#8216;burbs of El Dorado Hills.  Could be worse.  I&#8217;m not sure how, but that seems to be a popular phrase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Really about our only &#8220;event&#8221; over the weekend was a &#8220;virtual wine tasting.&#8221;  And as a matter of fact, it wasn&#8217;t even on the weekend, it was last Thursday.  The drill here is, you go to a nearby winery (or, liquor store in this case,) buy a set couple of bottles, and then at some predetermined time there is a video call where you taste the wines with other dorks.  This has become rather popular around here lately for obvious reasons, and I&#8217;ve been wanting to participate in one of them for a while.  And now I suppose I have.  Check that one off.  It was &#8220;OK.&#8221;  The winemaker was actually online with us and he was quite interesting to listen to, so that was a bonus.  Interesting for about 20 minutes anyway&#8230;  Unfortunately it went on for 1.5 hours.  Well past my rather stunted attention span.  I guess you could always just drop off, but I didn&#8217;t want to be rude.  Oh well, it was something to do, passed the time for one evening anyway.  I can say, in all honesty, I had nothing better to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4373#main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4373\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4373#main\" class=\"wp-image-4373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">the wine tasting<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4374#main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/first_casa-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4374\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/first_casa.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4374#main\" class=\"wp-image-4374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/first_casa-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/first_casa-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/first_casa-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/first_casa-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/first_casa.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">a friend sent us a pic of our first house in KC.
