The View from the Weeds

Originally published on December 17, 2010.

These are weeds.

And I am totally in them.

If you haven’t heard the phrase before, it’s diner/bar lingo for “really really busy.”  Presumably because as you peer out from behind the bar, at the heaps of customers standing in front of you, that you can’t keep up with, it looks something like peering out of field of weeds.  Or something like that.

In any case, it’s the last two weeks of the year and I’m firmly in the weeds.  But that’s a good thing.  If it’s December in a wine store, you want weeds.  Lots and lots of weeds.Photo Credit:
