got on the STEP MASTER while waiting for class to start.
Class always starts late & I had to leave early to attend
a wine tasting in NYC.

Does anyone else do this?
I always take a picture of where I park
so I don’t have to remember!
Green 3.

Trenton is about a 30 minute drive from Ivyland.
Then the train is an hour & 15 minutes.
It’s a fairly easy commute.

I was on an 11:15 train so I pretty much
could sit wherever I wanted.

The wine tasting was being held at Tribeca Grill in NYC.
It was wall to wall people all in the wine business.
Everyone tasting & spitting wine – you have to spit!
In the end I tried about 67 wines.

I’d hate be the one washing all those glasses!

 no drinking tonight, just tasting!

Me with Ryan of Michael Skurnik wines
and Andrea from my Wine class – she is a buyer
for a liquor store in NJ.
Ryan invited me to the event. He’s the rep for our store.

They had food at the event but most people (like me)
were busy tasting wine!  We used to always get pizza when
we came up to NY when we worked on Wall Street.
Today I kept with the tradition.

While up playing in NYC there was police activity
in our little hamlet of Ivyland!!!
Reports of a gunman loose in the neighborhood.

Encouragement is to raise confidence to the point where one dares to do what is difficult.
