This is what 104 degrees in the shade looks like in Denver this past Satuday afternoon:
As the Wicked Witch in Wizard of Oz said, “I’m MELTING, I’m MELTING!”
What does the Zadge do when faced with such heat, and a dead air conditioning unit, and a ca-ching, ca-ching plumber visit because the pipes in Old Vicky are “gurgling”, and a big victory in the Big Thing at the Top Secret Day Job, and the wild fires taking over the state of Colorado, and a horny exuberant Dr. Boy Toy?
What does she do?
She agrees to an impromptu getaway from the heat, and from the sewer-ness, and from the gurgling, and from the fact that her state is burning to the ground. When Dr. Boy Toy said, “How about we go away some place this weekend?” she replied, ”Yes! I will fly to Sonoma Wine Country with you, Dr. Boy Toy, and I will drink a lot of wine, and I will not be sweltering in 104 degree heat with a gurgling sewer line, and I will sit in hot springs with you, and I will eat at really good restaurants on your dime.”
So, you see, the Zadge is getting on a plane Thursday, headed for a night of great dining in San Francisco, with no heat and no wild fires and no kitchen-sink-coming-up-in-the-shower, then driving up to Healdsburg for two days of wine tasting with a young doctor, who, really, she has only known a month.
This could be a disaster. It’s the Zadge’s life afterall. Brace yourselves.

We all know you can take care of yourself.
Have fun!
Or, it could be amazing. The Zadge is, after all, a little overdue for something wonderful.
Thursday can’t get here soon enough. If all else fails, at least you will have cool weather, gorgeous views, fantastic food, terrific wine and, hopefully, smoke-free air.
A big win and a big weekend – can’t wait to hear about the weekend!
Have a wonderful time and for heaven’s sake don’t even think about the crap going on at home.
you lucky dog! Sonoma Wine Country sounds pretty dang good right about now! (as I choke on the ash from the nearby wildfires)
Sounds good to me. You only have one life to live – might as well go all in!
You can’t quit Healdsburg. ADMIT IT.
Yay! Have fun!
Yeah! Boy Toy is back. Anyone who takes me to wine country (anywhere, anytime) would get to play with me, too. Have fun.
Take lots of pictures of your excursion please! Also congrats on the big victory on that one thing at that day job thingie you do which is top secret of course.
Congrats on your big win! Have a great trip, don’t think about the rest of us going up in smoke.
