Washington on my side. The man, not the city. »

Talking to myself like Alexander Hamilton, minus the genius

So if no one is reading this, I guess I can really just pontificate at length! *types into the void*

Anyway, I saw this at Trader Joe’s today:

Not a Federalist

Well, we do know that Washington did love his wine. But was he a Federalist? Perhaps in all but name. He didn’t like political factions or partisanship, but his views did align almost exactly with Federalists Hamilton and Madison, that is until Madison split from Hamilton and became an ally of his BFF Jefferson, a Democratic Republican. I later found out that this winery is called “Federalist” and they put famous founders and presidents on their labels. Their most expensive bottle is a red blend called “Dueling Pistols.”

I did go swimming this afternoon, for the second time in as many days. My endurance is crap so I have to be consistent if I want that to improve. In the sauna afterward, there were two people discussing feminism — a young black man and an older lady who I think was Latina? Anyway at first I was like, ugh I want my quiet peaceful sauna! But fortunately their conversation was a favorable one so I found myself joining in for a moment. Then I had to excuse myself as it was a sauna… and very hot.
