Going up to Cheever's this evening. THe place is quality and I will be eating lightly, just enough food to go with a couple glasses of wine. I wish that I could put my alcohol charges on the expense report for On The Rocks as "product research." Maybe the higher ups would go for it if they realized that our wine orders have been made in large part by connections made by moi as a result of genuine interest in the product and not its direct monetary gain for the store, as that will obviously come if you do a good job of promoting your wine and impressing upon people some sort of competence and outgoing passion for orientation through the wine industry. I'm getting pretty tired of explaining to customers why I can't help them or why our guarantee holds no water.
On the bright side, I'm going away to Dallas this weekend for what I'm sure will be both a fun and frantic weekend. My mom and sister are the true organizers of this operation so I will undoubtedly by moderating their hijinx at various times. We have plans to go to the Tut exhibit, buy copious food, beer, and wine that we can't get here, and I think there will be a Texas de Brazil epic.
Speaking of epics, I have attached some sweet pics from this summers Colorado excursion. Bill, Catherine, Kyle, and I hit southwest CO for some action. We camped, ate lots of chocolate and drank lots of beer. I was really effing fit and I did some long runs in the high mountains which were probably a bit much. The lake pic was at 10,000 ft or so and I did a 2:30 run where I literally thought my testicles were not going to make it. The main artery in each groin like seized up or something on this steep incline and I think I may have compromised some as yet un-needed capability.
