Ranting

If you've seen my comments on Shannon's blog, then you'll know what I am referring to. If not then you might want to read hers to get up to speed.

Why do stupid people have to ruin everything!?! You know the people I'm talking about, the people that failed kindergarten...Can you stand in a line? Do you know what a line is? Do they have lines in your country(state,city,town)? Can you just wait your f---ing turn! These are the people that think they deserve extra, because they did an extra special job of wiping their ass this morning...Well I'm here to tell you, you didn't and you still smell like shit so f--- off.

Why is there gum on the walls of the Materhorn? Just couldn't wait those extra 50 seconds until the ride was over to throw it away in the trash can properly? Why do you insist on being in places that you clearly are not meant to be? I hate you and you ugly, dirty, smelly rotten kids too. Perhaps you should not have squandered your money on vacation, and put it towards your kids education. Maybe then the chain of inbred assholes will be broken? Probably not though, I expect my kids will have the same low tolerance for stupid people that I do.

Now then,

Having a great time, wish you were here.

...I'm on vacation

I meant to post something before I left, but I was busy getting ready to go. We are in Disneyland and having a great time, but this is the second time I've come here with kids. They are great because they are so excited, but they slow you down. At 2 o'clock everyone needs a nap, I could probably get by without one but everyone else is doing it....Well anyway everyone is awake and I'm trying to get them going so we can go back to the park.

Fun and wine, or wine and fun...

So if you've seen Shannon's blog (www.knittinggeek.blogspot.com) you should know that we went wine tasting this weekend. Let me try to expand on this subject a bit. I really like wine...I really like beer too. Does this make me an alcoholic? No, it just makes me a fun date. We ate lunch at Cafe Don Giovanni, really f---ing good. Steve orders a half bottle of Rombauer chardonnay, we were impressed with this wine and Steve said we'd get there later because he wanted another bottle. Next we went to Trendle ( I think ) the wine was good but I didn't buy any. Then we went to St.Supery, it was pretty busy because we think there was a wedding setting up. Most of their wines where excellent, but one of the sauvignon blanc's tasted like grapefruit juice. Shannon did not like it. Their best wine was a moscato, we bought one, can't wait to drink it. Next we went next door to Peju, this place was packed and they were trying to do tasting in groups. We waited for about 15 mins. Then left. I think this is where I let Mang start driving. We drove on a bit and went to Beaulieu Vineyard. As soon as we walked in the door they handed us a glass of sauvignon blanc, we walked to the bar and tasted more wine but the best thing about this winery was that the guy behind the bar recognized Steve and Mang from their honey moon almost a year ago. When they had come in then he knew it was their honeymoon because Mangs hair was still done-up, her nails were done, and Steve's ring was way too shiny. He let us taste for free, then we went downstairs and bought more wine. An Alsatian style gewurtztraminer, and a pinot noir vin gris, both very good summer drinking wines. By this this time I'm pretty tipsy and Steve must have been too, because he was just talking up a storm. Finally we drive to Rombauer, it's about 4:30 and they stop tasting at 5:00. We tasted 3 wines here, but not the chardonnay. Why not? Because they were out of the '03 but the '04 was going to be just as good, and there's no reason to taste it because everyone is waiting to buy it anyway. Kind of snotty...But we bought it anyway. Then I overheard someone tasting the port, may I please try some ( I love port), it was amazing. We'd (pretty much spent all our money (we still had enough for dinner) but it was so good we had to buy it ( thank you Shannon ).

Anyway,we ate dinner at Mustards Grill while our wine buzz was wearing off. We tried to go somewhere for dessert but they were closed. So we just drove home very full and very tired.

The not so long weekend

This is an update on how the hops are growing. To anyone interested in gardening, I highly recommend planting some hops . They just need water and they grow like 15 feet high.

Well I guess I milked that long enough, 17 comments on one post was pretty good I think.

Last weekend I was so busy I felt like I ran myself ragged. This weekend however I have nothing to do, not one thing, nada. Even the honey-do list is pretty short. Man it feels nice to not have any responsibilities. Of course Shannon will read this and come up with a list so I may have blown a relaxing weekend all to hell.

I do have projects that need to get done, but nothing really pressing. We just got a new entertainment center that I need to sand and stain. We're going to take out the the carpet around the bar and install tile. We need a new garbage disposal, but none of this stuff has to be done in a weekend or by a certain date.

Soon all this lazy time will catch up with me and everything will be back to normal.

The Long Weekend

This was the end of my long weekend. I made this wedding cake for my friend Dave.

All right, I guess I'll blog too

So my wife has this blog, and I've been reading it, making comments and stuff. Her sister and mother do blogs, it all gets somewhat addicting, so here is mine.

My name is William, I live in a suburb of San Francisco with my wife and 2 kids. Life is just peachy. I have more hobbies than time, making beer, playing the drums, reading comics, anything to do with Star Wars...You get the picture. Well now I guess blogging will be another hobby, but I think I'll have to learn to type . I've been putting it off for 30 something years and I just can't escape it anymore.
