every Sunday I aspire to “do nothing” —
sit & read – that’s it.
It NEVER happens……..why?

My mistake today was I read the Weekend Section & found
an event I wanted to attend at the Philadelphia Sports Club….

on our way to the Sports Club we stopped
at my new EGG place —

farm fresh eggs….no hormones, cage-free.
I’m glad they specify
EGGS from CHICKENS.…..

we got farm fresh broccoli too!

Philly Fit Bash is the event I wanted to attend.
Last time I went to the event I ended up winning
a bicycle — so I guess every time I attend
I expect to win something.

free assorted exercise classes for all attendees

I wanted to try the ladder but there was a line
P1020138
a little boxing with the big guy

Michael’s barber told him that COSTCO had
GREAT roasted chicken so we decided to get one
for dinner tonight. Barber Joe was right!

chicken, broccoli, rice, salad……….mmmm

I didn’t have this with dinner b/c I knew it wouldn’t pair right.
But I still wanted to&nbsp
;log some tasting notes – just for practice, of course.

Girard Mixed Blacks 2006
  • Deep purple color
  • Bouquet was not super strong
  • Reminded me of blackberries, slightly peppery
  • Smooth, not real acidic
  • Dry & slightly oaky
  • Medium to full body with hints of vanilla, raspberry jam
  • High in alcohol (14.5%)
  • Long finish, stays with you awhile
  • Blend of 6 grapes:
syrah, zinfandel, petite syrak, grenache, mouvedre, carignane

do YOU get it??  It actually took me a few seconds…..

=====================================================
Life is full of surprises and serendipity.
Being open to unexpected turns in the road
is an important part of success.
If you try to plan every step,
you may miss those wonderful twists and turns.
Just find your next adventure-
do it well, enjoy it
-and then, not now,
think about what comes next.
