What I Learned in 2017

     This first example is not knowledge first learned in 2017, but something that was reconfirmed:  L. L. Bean flannel lined jeans are the bomb.  They're not going to flatter your derrière since they are baggy in the tush, but they are so warm and comfortable.

     Number 2: Crémant is wonderful.  What is crémant?  It's a dry sparking wine made in France.  It is like champagne, but it is not called champagne since it is produced outside of the Champagne region.

It also comes in a rosé version.  

     Number 3: British television is great viewing.  We watched all twelve seasons of New Tricks.  We kept the iPad handy so that we could look up the British-isms.  It's always a good thing to increase your vocabulary - standard, slang, and vulgar!  You can get all the DVD's at the Burlington County Library.

     Poldark and Call the Midwife currently run on PBS.  The library has past seasons if you need to catch up.

     Finally, and this has been a bit disturbing to learn about myself, there probably isn't a limit to how far I would go to be as clever at parody as Randy Rainbow.
