Right??? So annoying. On the plus side, since moving to the east coast, my lifetime dislike of seltzer water has done a 180 since I discovered Polar! So I drink a lot of that instead of wine. Now, I do need to start throwing parties because I’ve got 16 cases of great wine in my basement (all of my California winery shipments).

Polar is made right in Worcester!

Wait how is polar so different from other seltzers?

Also, yay quick video visit with doctor (well, NP who I'd never met but whatever) who will prescribe me medication in case it is shingles so that I can go get it ASAP if the telltale rash breaks out (hasn't yet but likely would soon). Bleh.

Laura, thanks for your note.

Ugh, meara, I'm sorry. I hope it doesn't!

Polar Half and Half is a favorite (half lemon half grapefruit).

I haven't tried that one. Sounds yum.

Polar is magic and I couldn’t tell ya how they make it differently or what sets it apart! It’s just that it tastes delicious to me in a way bubbly water never ever has.

Meara that sounds a lot like shingles. I had tingles and an unsettled stomach for a week before the horrid pain and rash showed up.

Yes, we do plan on being there for Kristin and Drew. We'll make a plan.

I live north of Old Saybrook, so you wouldn't be driving by me in Hartford to get there, but if you fly in, you're welcome to stay/ride with me. If not, I'll see you there.

We'll probably go up to Otter Lake and open the camp around Memorial Day, and drive from there, about 5 hours. It looks like the route from camp goes through Hartford so we will have to coordinate. I don't know my timing yet.
