Never tried to post a picture before, thought I'd give it a try. In past Blogs I've talked about this senior activity of ours where we get a tremendous amount of exercise lifting wine bottles. These are our friends, Bill and Alecia to the right of my wife Marge displaying our future purchases. You can't believe how these winery trips have helped keep us in shape. We usually start the day with a picnic lunch, visit three wineries, sample about fifteen or sixteen wines, eat many crackers and finish off the day with a dinner at a restaurant. At times we even cracked open one of our inevitable wine purchases. One year we managed to visit fifteen different Connecticut wineries. The picture shown is from a recent winery visit in Florida. Funny, other people go to Florida to golf, sit on beaches, well I guess you know what we do. Have to get your exercise somehow.
I was quite flattered when two people this past week complained that I had not posted a Blog since April. I feel that just like an actor who has been type cast, can't Blog without a bitch, so with most everything going pretty well, I haven't had much to work with. My son, however, did come up with one that I've thought about quite a few times. In Connecticut like so many states there came a need for more area codes than just 860. So area code 203 was established, but wait, it's 203 only in certain areas. In other areas you need to dial a one before the 203. Come on, stupid or what....are you supposed to have a map out before you dial, or do you flip a coin?
Bitch number two. Do engineers or package design people ever try out their creations? Here's one that really gets me. As you have probably noticed, Heinz has come out with a super convenient squeeze bottle of hot dog relish. The only problem is that on your first attempt at getting it out of the bottle your greated with a dose of pickle water. Then if you can squeeze hard enough you'll get an explosion of relish out of the ridiculous 1/2 inch hole provided. Do you think maybe thats it's on sale for $.88. They must have a warehouse full. Squeeze mustard bottles kind of suck too. Your first squeeze will also get you a little stream of yellow water to contaminate your dog.
Well i don't want this entry to take up anymore of your valuable time or you'll stop reading them.......blog you soon.

YOU'RE BACK!!! - With an AWESOME blog I must say!!! A picture and everything - wow - you didn't need my help. Loved the write up on your picture. You get an A on that part of the blog. Ahhh...area codes don't bother me that much - B. But you get an A+ on your condiment rant. I have actually trained myself to ALWAYS shake my ketchup and mustard before applying!!! (I don't use relish so it does not apply for me).
