My friends...I have a dream!

A dream in which men are paid--not with the paper money of men--but with the liquid money of the gods! Alcohol, my dear brothers and sisters!

I have a dream, in which I will be a badass motherfucker, who won't take no shit offa nobody--because I have a helluva a lot of sexy, sexy wine.



I have a dream that has become reality.

Yes, I just finished working (actually, not finished, there's another trip to be made) for one of the guys that runs the annual Food and Wine show in Dallas, at the Adolphus Hotel. I was expecting some sort of normal, monetary payment, but instead was paid in wine.

Yes, dear friends, wine! I (along w/my Dad, who really doesn't drink it) was given about 40 bottles of choice wine (these were leftover submissions from the wine-judging competition at teh show) and there is supposedly more to come. Exciting, I think. Well, talk to you guys later!
