i want to invite everyone to the block party. the next church block party. its on saturday july 22, which is the day i get back from camping with the fam. so far i have no one to accompany me, so i hope you all go so i have some people to hang-out with there. this will be my very first block party since last year it fell on the same date as melinder's birthday party. well here some info about it.so have i ever told you how i don't like wine? well i don't really. i find it kind of gross and bitter tasting. well i'm trying to push through that, i think it would be nice to have a glass of wine with my friends and colleagues when the occassion calls for it. since i've been told it takes 10 times of trying something before you acquire the taste, i've been forcing myself to drink wine. i've now had wine 3 days in a row. this evening, i had dinner out with my co-workers because julie is up for a couple days from pittsburgh. it was nice, i had a good time, it was my first visit to woodenheads. i quite liked it! well, it was kind of embarrassing because i got carded in front of everyone. not like that's not normal, but even our 21 year old student didn't get carded. tiffani actually told our waitress "she's actually 5 years older than me", which just made things stranger. anyways, after that was done and everyone was so kind to point out that i'd gone red, it turned out that i really quite liked that bottle of wine. i think that was the very first time. that's good! my plan is working.
you know now music triggers memories and such? i find it odd that the music i'm listening to is reminding me of something totally unrelated to it. something i'd experienced at a totally different time than this song. strange, i wonder what's up with that?!?!!
there are trees growing in my troughs. see??
chemicals will hit you, chemicals will knock you down.is it over cause you feel no pain throwing me around?

The Erb clan will be at the block party, Les.
As for wine, I love it! On the way to our place this past weekend, my in-laws did a tour of the Picton-area vineyards (they also love wine). They were kind enough to bring a bottle for us, which we've already finished off. I hated the stuff at first, though, too. I don't know why I kept trying it. I certainly never set out to acquire a taste for it.
isn't jason playing at the block party?
hmm, maybe i'm not weird, just a late bloomer once again!
Alas, neither Infotourist nor Reno's Hitmen were invited to play. But thanks for asking.
back when i didn't like beer, i decided that i needed to acquire a taste for wine, since it was the only thing other than coolers that didn't need to be mixed. (i was tired of toting mix around to all the parties.) i started with white zinfandel, which is actually a rose (pink) wine, and then quickly graduted to blueberry wine (yummy!)... eventually i made it to red, which i've loved for years now... i've only recently started to develop a taste for white wine. fortunately, i did eventually gain a taste for beer, too, so the boys couldn't make fun anymore.
i don't think you're a late bloomer, i think it just takes time (and a decision) to develop the taste.
wish i could be at the block party, it's been so much fun to be a part of it for the past couple of years...
WHAT!! that is an outrage!!
i'm gonna write that doseger fellow a letter!! a page and a half long maybe.
i've tried that pink wine before. you're probably right dawna, its only been the last year or more that i've wanted to acquire a taste for wine.
but i think i'll stop at beer. no interest in beer.
you and you're clan will be missed at the block party :( it sounds like you've have so many nexters out in saskatchewan lately you could have a jr. block party!
Lesley, you are a great fan.
Do you want to be Infotourist's manager?
(You know, that was intended to be a non-serious, thoughtless comment, as usual for me, but now that I've written it, it looks like a really good idea.)
Total abstinence for me. Haven't tasted alcohol since I was a kid drinking my father's home-made wine. It is great for social get-togethers. If you give the impression you're a recovering alcoholic, they will probably ignore you. But if you are looking for a conversation piece, just tell them that you took a vow as a Junior Soldier in The Salvation Army. You'll usually get weird looks and then they shuffle away. But occasionally it opens up some interesting discussions.
Wow, Bob! You have my admiration for sticking to a vow you made all those years ago!
jase, i doubt i'd be a good manager. i lack the... whatever it is that managers have... to do a good job.
bob, interesting about your vow. i recall joel made a similar vow. cool. i'm not concerned though, if i opt against the wine, people don't really care. rachel is right, that's quite the committment!
