Tomorrow begins Virginia Wine Month. This evening we joined several other bloggers and tasted some Virginia red blend wines. We participated in the Twitter tasting at Flight wine bar in DC.
Using the exercise app I walked 2.11 miles indoors.
Last Concert
This evening we went to Tarara Winery for their last concert of the season. The band was called The Reflex, an 80’s tribute band. We totally enjoyed the music. I was just singing along. Of course we had some wine and food from the food trucks. It was a good evening.
I walked a total of 3.14 miles today.
Sad Day
Today the Supreme Court is expected to vote on Bret Kavanaugh’s nomination. Here is the headline on the Washington Post this morning:
We are in for some bad times to come with this. I just feel it. I did read an excellent opinion piece on the Washington Post that was spot on. I love it! Check it out here.
Update: This afternoon they voted to bring it to the floor. Split down party lines of course. But Jeff Flake asked for a one week delay to have the FBI do an investigation on the allegations against Kavanaugh. We’ll see how that goes.
Finally blue sky! I was able to get outside and do my walking today. I walked 2.08 miles using the exercise app.
Supreme Court Hearings
Today was such an emotional day. I haven’t mentioned it but for history I feel like I need to record it. Today Dr. Ford was questioned about her sexual assault allegedly committed by Supreme Court nominee Bret Kavanaugh. It was raw, it was honest, it was emotional. I watched all 9 hours of the hearings. I feel so bad for her. After her testimony many were convinced she was credible and true with her accounts.
Then Bret Kavanaugh took the stand and he was angry and yelling and blaming. He performed just like a rich, white kid who feels he deserves to be seated on the Supreme Court for life. I feel like he was not telling the truth or credible. Our country is split right now. I don’t think this is the time to be putting someone like him on the court. The senate is making a mistake if they vote for him tomorrow. It will ruin many lives for years to come.
In other news, we had a Twitter tasting this evening and tasted 5 different chardonnays. They were okay but none of them stood out as amazing wines.
I did not walk much today. I was consumed with the hearings. I did walk a total of 1.44 miles. But not with the exercise app.
Portrait Mode
So today I tried the portrait mode on the iPhone Xs Max camera. Again, I’m not sure how I feel about it. I used the depth editor to blur the background (Bokeh). I think it worked fine but I wouldn’t use it for anything professional. And again I’m noticing that if you don’t have a lot of light, the camera just doesn’t perform the way I’m expecting to. This has always been an issue with cameras on the iPhones.
Using the exercise app, I walked 1.53 miles today.
