As I See It - 02.18.16 - National Wine Day

Somebody told me it was National Wine Day so I did. No, I didn't wine but I did have a glass of wine. Not the fanciest of vessels but hey it was free.

It's true. No two sunsets are the same.

Once the weather cools off, maybe I'll be able to enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy the sunsets.

It was one of those days that I was grateful for a several glasses of wine after work. Oh, and it was work-related conversation.

Once or twice a year, I'm invited to the private dining room at REEF. And, thus was the case on Friday. It was belated Holiday Party for my department and we did the White Elephant Exchange.

The view from the room is great. This is what you see.

Prior to Christmas, I went for my annual eye exam at Diagnostic Eye Center. Dr. Aric Welton always does a good job! I debated about buying a new pair of frames to go with the new prescription and decided to go ahead and spend the rest of the money on my FSA account. Much to my surprise, the glasses arrived a week earlier than expected so I skedaddled over and voila!

Later in the day I met up with Tall Todd at Fleming's for wine and conversation. We haven't seen each other in awhile so it was good to catch up over Cabernet and Shiraz. We've both had quite a bit going on in our lives plus traveling for the holidays. And...if you go to Fleming's on W. Alabama, be sure to ask for Sheriff! He took care of us last night.

I had a great fall on Wednesday. And no, I don't mean as in winter, spring, summer, fall. I fell down and I fell hard.  You see...

I went to the Kroger on Studemont and to avoid the man ringing the bell for the Salvation Army, I parked on the west side of the parking lot.  When I exited, I went down the wrong aisle to get to my car so I decided to cut over.  When I did, my foot caught the end of a cement parking barrier and well, I fell.

And I guess I said, "Shit!" so loud, it caught the attention of the teenager who was in the lot gathering stray grocery carts. I started getting up just as he was approaching. At that point I had already picked up everything that had fallen out of the bags. It hurt but it really hurt when I got home and still had to walk The Calvinator.

So why this picture of a bottle of Coppola wine?  You see...

This bottle was in one of the bags that I dropped in the parking lot. It didn't break. And now, I'm afraid to open it because it must have some sort of special powers.

and no I'm not referring to the bar in New Oleans.

I had dinner on Thursday evening with two really good friends. We had drinks at Pax Americana and dinner at Brassiere Max & Julie. A nice time was had by all!

It was a long day.  I left the house at 5:45a.m. and returned at 7:30p.m.  The Calvinator was at the spa.  Before I returned home, I did manage to have a few glasses of vino.  I deserved it.

Have you ever heard of Christmas in July?  OK.  How about Christmas in March?  Well, on Tuesday the group I work with finally got together to celebrate Christmas. 

Our gathering took place at Reef. We were in the private dining room which had a glass wall that has a view of tune wine rack.  It's quite the view.
