You may have noticed that I posted early yesterday and I'm posting a little late tonight.
My friends, Michael and Cindy and I went out to eat Saturday night. We're testing restaurants to see if we can find some additional venues for Sommelier Guild of Atlanta tastings. Lately, we've been doing most of our tastings inside the perimeter and we're trying to find some places outside the perimeter. We've tried two restaurants so far and both have been unacceptable.
We knocked back our usual three bottles of wine and came back to my house and drank some grappa. As a result, I was moving a little slow on Sunday.
My sister and her husband came through on their way to Jackson Mississippi and spent the night, so I blogged before they got here. That's why my stuff was up early.
Today, I was in class all day (As I will be all week) and then tonight, right after work, I went down to Shepherd Center in Atlanta to see about a SCUBA crip trip to Cayman Brac at the end of September. Bert Quist from Divers@Sea was there with some video tapes and slides to let us see what the diving was like.
Wham! Out came the VISA card. Do what you do best you stinking piece of plastic! I signed up.
The usual suspects were there, most of the people I had gone on previous trips with. It looks like we may have one or two new guys going. Now I have sumpin' to look forward to all summer. I'll probably sign up for a weekend trip somewhere this summer to get some rust off.
This is one of the reasons I'm still working. I could afford to retire, but, I want to be able to go on two SCUBA trips and two ski trips a year and that ain't cheap. And, if the FAA comes out with the Recreational Pilot license I want to start flying again. I can't seem to find any cheap hobbies.
I'm sitting here typing and I haven't even read the paper yet. One of the reasons I still get a paper, even one as liberal as the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, is because I get some of my best ideas from it. I'm sure there will be sumpin' in the paper to piss me off, but it will have to wait.
I have to get up early to make it to class on time so I'm bringing this post to a close. More tomorrow. I promise.
Oh! Almost forgot. Wanna piss off a liberal? Send them this link. Sorry. Doesn't work well on dialup.
And dammit! Some doctor in Austria said that eating your own boogers was good for you. Jesus H. Christ! If that's true then booger eatin' moh-rons may outlive us. Crap!
