Curt See, deltav? ^^^^This would be a real yuppie, were it not for that fact that the "Y" stands for "young." You could learn something from him. Jay

But Trader Joe's has come a long way, honestly. Jay

Drink Germain-Robin. Best stuff ever. Is there a minimum price point for wine drinker to entry to this club? (Say paid at least $50 a bottle at one point and time) Is a yard with a sprinkler system an automatic in? We use the term “golf units”. (Golf is an inherited disease, climbing (posts) is an acquired one). A golf unit was the cost of playing golf, including equipment, practice buckets, clothing, everything. It is a great concept because it can apply to other aspects of life. “Climbing Units” becomes the cost of buying time to go do the activity as compared to other life expenses. Jewelry, wine, fashionable clothing, kids activities all get neatly compared to the cost of recreational activities.

This made my morning crush of email a bit more tolerable. Curt, you climb too hard and are a bit, uh, experienced to be a yuppie, but stick around, we need the humor.

Presumably you have a job where you all take off and do a Texas scramble a couple times a year, and call it "team building"? The yard sprinkler is a nice touch, extra points if you pay someone to come blow the water out of the pipes before winter instead of draining it yourself. Assuming you live in a place where this is an issue.

Answer me this: what would you pair with seared scallops with? A) Riesling B) PBR - PBR goes with anything! Lol....it's a 91' Camry with the muffler hanging low, a door about to fall off, a pasenger side window that doesn't work and a crack in the radiator, but that's only because I'm holding out for the company car and gas card, which should be available soon. Seared scallops? I can see the merits of a Riesling there, but I generally think it tastes like feet. Besides, I usually don't bother with foods that don't compliment a good red or belgian ale. Follow it up with a maduro and a glass of Dalmore and we're talking. ...then again, exchagne that for some skunk and some pirate booty and we're having a good time.

Ya, I hope to make it to the crag tomorrow morning, but I'll have to make it back for the neighborhood wine tasting. My wife and me, 4 other couples and 13 kids!
