Allergies are kicking me in the head this morning. However, I do have a fresh mug of Intelligentsia by my side … la Perla, organic Mexico. Makes it all bearable. And it should be slow today: everyone’s taking a long Labor Day weekend.

This evening sumsinnow is taking me to Orange for a belated birthday dinner. It’s BYO and I’ve picked out a nice bottle of wine: Capcanes Mas Donis.
