He'll drink to that

Tim grabbed this wine tonight to eat with our grilled meal of salmon steaks. Well, we had a different variety and year, a 2006 Central Coast Syrah, but it was by the same winery, the Cycles Gladiator. It was described on the vintner's Web site as: "An intriguing combination of raspberry and wild plum aromas framed by fresh cracked pepper and pretty oak notes... Gold Medal, 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition!"

I thought he chose it because of its award-winning tradition. Silly me. He shared with me the real reason he picked it (that old judging-a-wine-by-its-label philosophy hard at work).

And I quote:

It's the perfect label. Naked lady and a bicycle.

hahahaha that's a guy for you :)
I dunno though, I just can't do red wine when it's hot out. Have you had Luna di Luna, blue bottle? It's a Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay blend. I normally don't care for white wine but this is pretty tasty. I want to try the pure Pinot Grigio, which is the yellow bottle.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...
