TBWCYL Day 204 - Why So Serious?

I was meant to be serious the entire day. I tried my best and was pretty successful for the most part. I tried to keep a straight face when people talked to me. Every time a person walked into my office I just clammed up and kept a straight face.

I was completely serious until Diana and I started drinking white wine. Then I started to loose my seriousness. In fact I lost the straight face I had managed to keep all day and instead just smiled as my wife and I drank a glass of 2008 Sterling Vineyard Savignon Blanc that we picked up in Napa.

I also have to admit that I occasionally slipped throughout the day in conversations with people. I always had in my head to "be serious" but I am a pretty jovial guy and sometimes that would come out. I reigned it in if it did though.

That is all,

Newt

The book is a killjoy!

Hope you and Diana enjoyed your wine ... sounds like you did

Ps: Just posted my tribute to you :)

I'm not entire sure why you're trying to be serious - maybe it is because this is my first visit - but I do know this, alcohol is not that great at maintaining seriousness.

Lovely tribute from GI by the way.

Alchohol apparently stops seriousness in it's tracks. Welcome to my pad. GI Kate did said way to many nice things about me. I don't think I deserve it.

This task was impossible from the start given your...jovial...nature.
