On today’s episode of the D2D Pod, Greg and Jen enjoy Wigle Organic Wapsie Valley Corn Bourbon. Remember, people, bourbon does not need to come from Kentucky, it just needs to be mostly corn…and this stuff is amazing because the distillers used heirloom Wapsie Valley maize, colorful and earthy with the wonderful sweetness recognizable in corn-heavy mash bills.

Here Greg recalls two stories.

First, an overwhelmed, church-dressed, and eventually sweat-soaked Dad and his three children attempted to make their way through the grocery store. Greg had the pleasure of inadvertently following the family through Giant Eagle given serendipity and similar shopping lists.

The moral of this tale: Make sure you’ve established ground rules and a game plan when shopping with your children.

And a secondary lesson: A cookie is a considerably less attractive motivator for a young person than is attention and control.

Next, Greg encountered a cute older couple vacuuming their car at the Get Go…a cute older couple with something disturbing not far below the surface.

The moral of this tale: If your spouse takes a nasty tumble while you’re cleaning the car, immediately put the vacuum down and attend to him/her.

And a secondary, albeit trite yet slightly modified lesson: Be careful when judging a book by it’s cover.

We present to you, “#PutTheVacuumDown.”
