After two days of stress I’m back to processing large files, which means I have a few minutes to post while the file runs in the background.
The Grill Room, the super-nice steakhouse in the Westin Hotel’s Daily Grill, will host a wine dinner Friday night, June 20. The dinner will feature wines of the Pacific Northwest that are not available in this region. Details below:

Disclaimer: The Grill Room invited me to be their guest at the dinner as thanks for mentioning it in a post. See, I’ll gladly accept bribes but at least I’m honest about admitting it. I also scored a VIP card to Raiford’s this week. Sometimes it’s good to be a blogger. 
Plans for tonight: Laptopping once again at the Saucer. My newest online store will carry more products than I thought, so I’ll be up there cataloging them and drinking beer from 5 until the laptop battery dies or until I get tired of being there. Already walked by and Yuengling Lager is the Fire Sale. May stop by Itta Bena after I get done at the Saucer.
