    Really liked seeing the footage from the vineyard! Nice stuff. I’ll have to seek out that wine!

    QOTD: Well the parents were going to be in town, but bad weather on both ends have nixed that. So I’ll be finishing homework and the like.

    I always enjoy when you show footage of your travels. Thanks for sharing!

    QOTD: I will be having my roommate’s sister and her boyfriend over for an early Easter dinner tomorrow. Sunday I will be going to my parents to celebrate the holiday. I will be brining a bottle of wine but not sure what yet… probably something white since they seem to prefer that. Perhaps a simple bottle of ’05 Arona Sauvignon Blanc.

    QOTD: My wife and I take care of foster children, and due to a series of circumstances we’ve suddenly grown from two kids to five, and we need to find a new home to accommodate them all (our current two bedroom place just doesn’t cut it). So I will be house hunting this weekend. That, and having a big family dinner on Sunday afternoon.

    big time opportunity this weekend for a local band that I love. Comprised of 14-15yr olds they’re bringing the thunder big time. Big free concert this Sat with some big name music people coming to check them out. I’ve known the guitar player for a couple years now (since he was 12, playing open mics and small gigs). Pretty soon I’ll be hearing about their european tours ‘n’ stuff. But it’s been awesome to watch them develop. And I’m bringing all my peeps for a huge blow out show tomorrow. Hot Toast
