If today’s podcast seems to be a little more laid back than usual, it is because we have decided to celebrate National Red Wine Day. There are 21 days devoted to celebrating wine annually; the next one is on Sunday, International Cabernet Sauvignon Day. This means that instead of buying a bottle, buy a case.

You made need that wine glass to cry into for this next one, it’s Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, a day devoted to the pets that we have lost. For me, that is three cats and a chicken named lemon.
