Some things just feel like they've got to happen. While I'm really addressing a larger issue, a small example of how this works just went down...

I sit down at the computer to check my email while thinking that I'd maybe like to join back up with SG, and the only real email I got was SG asking if I wanted to come back.

So for the record, I'm completely over having "favorites"on my profile. It's just kind of weird picking them out, and you know, what constitutes a favorite?

Witty journal entries?
Keen fashion sense?
Big knockers?


That being said, I changed them around a bit, & only just now noticed that they've all got really similar hairstyles. So in closing, I am apparently all about the hair....

It's funny... you get to a certain age, and realize how similar you really are to your parents.

Case in point:

It occurs to me that if the world worked for me, they would so be fired. There is just something about people who don't care how they handle their affairs that is so bothersome to me. I can't imagine doing the kind of work...

I wanted to see what they talk about in the SG Pittsburgh group (I am from PGH originally, but never go back), and so I applied today.

In honor of this... Pittsburgh, a haiku:

Yinz goin dawn tawn?

To Mario's to Pawnd Arns?

No, Stiller game.


I've been thinking a lot of Pittsburgh lately. I've got to guess it's because I'm going back there this...

My son and I wore matching T-Shirts today. It was awesome. I am so ready for matching pajamas. I will add some new pics really soon.

Wine:

Zanzibar Cellars "Sandra" 2003

Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, & Syrah.

I start at Archery Summit on Wednesday. On my first day, I get to meet Maxmillian Riedel, of the Reidel Crystal empire. Wow!

And I've decided to post wine info in the journals, just in case you're looking for a great bottle...

Let's see...

1.) Tinto Pesquera (Ribiero del Duero), any vintage.
2.) Louis Latour Pouilly Vinselle 2002
3.) Allegrini Palazzo de la Torre, 2000...

It's my one day off this week. If all goes well, Aguilar will have:

-Napped
-Made much music
-Eaten

by day's end.

With luck the list will only grow to include...

-Watched a great movie (though doubtful)
-Found something I haven't read, and read it (likely)
-Ate something fancy
-Took D5 (my Dog) to the park

I am a really negligent musician right now.

Little advert for one of my employers...

I work at this shop called the Pearl Wine Shop, in the Pearl District, here in PDX. 13th and Glisan, under Andina Restaurant.

This place is nuts, as it is the store front to a national rare wine locating service. So while the store sells wine, the real business is the internet rare wine thing. So they don't...

I get paid to drink wine. I find that nearly every facet of my life (marriage, fatherhood, Portland, windows all being present on my car...) manages to occupy this "wow, my life is amazing." space... the job is oddly typical, given the rest, yeah?

I love it so much when my life serves as an endless metaphor for itself.

I tasted 20 some odd wines...

Wow, so my car window was smashed in, and my CD books stolen. God, that just sounds so stupid... you can't even sell them, so what then, they were just really hard up for some new tunes?

While I try to maintain little attachment to stuff, it is maybe a little disheartening losing those 300 CD's. How do you remember which to replace?

It will...
