    Weekly Wrap-Up: Oh Baby, Honey Badger Don't Care and More (August 12, 2012)

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: August 12, 2012 Last Updated: March 6, 2021

    Welcome to a long overdue weekly wrap-up!

    First up I need to explain the lack of Weekly Wrap-ups (and attention to the blog in general) the last few weeks. You see my wife and I just adopted a baby boy! His due date was late August but the little dude was so excited about the whole thing that he decided to come 6 weeks early! This meant he had to spend a couple weeks in the NICU before he was allowed to come home (much to the chagrin of his big sisters). This wouldn't have been so bad except that he was born in NC and we live in MN. This meant we had a rather extended vacation, especially when you add in the extra week or so we had to stay in NC after he was discharged to finalize everything. Needless to say we're glad to be getting things back to the (new) normal very soon so bear with me as we get things back up to speed here at the site. And please welcome little Ezekiel (Zeke or Z for short) to The Reverse Wine Snob household.

    A True Perfect 10!
