A nice dry White Rhone wine.

Oh, dammit. I was going to see about juggling some cash around and see if I could get it. Guess the decision was made for me.

Yeah see, I got a stepkid with Aspergers. I don't need to watch TV to see that kind of thing. From the little bit I've seen of the show, that Sheldon guy = Aspergers.

Definitely.

Classic 'Aspy genius' as we now know to call them...

I can bring one in May to the bottling for you.

Yep, I live with that guy. It's just AMAZING how he can be so smart and so stupid all at once.

Bailey's cheesecake is happily sitting in the oven. Fingers crossed it turns out as well as last time!

Not so bad if they just went around in a circle. It was the banging into things that caused all the problems.

True, but it's also more than that - Sheldon is amazingly self-centred, arrogant, and childish. Yet somehow you are forced to like him...

Loooong day at school... all this talk about The big bang makes me want to give it a shot... what day is it on? I am glad Cougar Town is back on...

Um, those are classic Asperger traits. The 15yr old has the emotional maturity of your average 8 year old and truly believes he is the greatest thing that has ever happened to the planet. Basically, Asperger people can't empathize and can't read body language. I will have the most bored expression in history on my face when he drones on about a video game and he can't pick up on it. I have to actually say "bowtie's stepson, I'm not trying to be mean, but i'm really no longer interested in this conversation." Within two minutes, we'll be having that same conversation again. And by conversation I mean he'll be talking at me and I'll be paying no attention whatsoever. He also figures that if he want's to do something that means EVERYONE wants to do what he's doing because he's AWESOME. It's painful to watch him try to interact with other people because if they won't do what he wants them to do he gets all bent out of shape.

That has got to be very difficult!! We have several children at school who have "issues" the thing that kills me is the parents wont accept that their child has an issue and needs extra help... so if it is not documented by a doc... child gets no services and is labeled as "difficult". We all know said child needs extra help...but can't give it to them because we have 18 other students that are learning "on tract"...

Hmmm...sounds like Sheldon to me. Well, at least now you know he could grow up to be a physicist!

Hahaha. I missed out on this one too. If I show up for the tasting, we should open it up and try it. Otherwise, you can get it from Sparky since I'm not sure when I'll be able to see him next.

True. But Sparky didn't want to watch.

Depends on what I'm watching! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, If you know what I mean!

And I still have the episode on my DVR about Settlers of Catan. Just hilarious.

When I first watched the show, I thought Sheldon was some sort of alien!

Damn song--was going through my head much of the day! Ugh! Good thing it didn't get mixed up with "Alouette" during Period 2 French class. . .

That was a really funny movie. I enjoy Peter Sellers in that one.

Same thing in South Dakota. Hey everybody - if we get snow on top of freezing rain, don't expect to slam on the brakes five feet before your turn and think it'll be just fine!
