It’s foggy, today. The first fog of the year. Up until a bit ago, it was a really beautiful white sheet. It’s foggy, today. The sun won’t show up.

FZzzzz… The unmistakable sound of the nth uncorking precedes the first icy sip. A sip that goes down fast, intense, directly from the mouth to the stomach.
