Does anyone I know have a PS3 and own this game? Probably not. Damn.

I’ve put up a couple of new Flickr sets.

The first is Camping - Oct 2007 which documents our annual trip to Longpool. Unfortunately, it was also our last trip to Longpool since some jackass (police?) officer kept sneaking up on us and saying something to the effect of “You can’t drink here. It’s illegal and I’ll take you to jail if you don’t stop.” Those weren’t his exact words but that was the overall idea he was trying to convey. To be honest, at the time it sounded more like, “Hey guys. Look at me. I suck. You guys look like you’re having fun. That makes me jealous. I will now ruin your camping trip. Also, I suck.”

The second set is Snowboarding - 2008 which is the fifth snowboarding set and documents the fifth trip I’ve been on in as many years. This year we went to Steamboat Springs, Colorado and it was by far the best trip yet. It snowed 6 inches the first night and 10 the next. Translation: Awesome.

Some friends of ours started a “Brown Bag Wine Club” and last night marked the beginning of what is hopefully an on-going, monthly event.

From the eVite: “The goal is to create a very casual, non-pretentious environment for people to learn a little about wines. We will try to balance giving people an opportunity to go through the “5 S’s” of wine tasting (see, swirl, smell, sip, and spit) or to just chug what is in the glass.”

Last night’s focus was on Champagne/Sparkling wine. We tasted 8 different types and took notes without knowing what we were drinking. I had a feeling that I’d probably end up liking the cheap stuff more than the fancy stuff. I was right. I gave the highest score to the cheapest brand. No surprises there.
