Today is the day before
the much awaited FOMC
announcement regarding
INTEREST RATES.

Who cares?

I do, but I feel like I’m…

For the irrelevant-old-music-
awareness-challenged folk
among us, that’s
“Waiting for the Robert E. Lee”.

For the irrelevent-old-musical-
instrument-awareness-challenged
folk among us, the awful sound
comes from a kal-ee-ohp.

What does this have to do
with the wine???

Obviously, there’s a place
for everything.

However, there may NOT be…

Let me tidy up and make
make room for this one.

I’m trying to decide what
NOT to have with lunch as
I sip this indescribably
delicious STUFF.

I’ll be in heaven before
I get hungry.

Saint Peter: You look horrible.
Why did you starve to death?
OTWN: I couldn’t decide
what to eat.
SP: What were you drinking?
OTWN: Adelsheim.
SP: Did you finish it?
OTWN: Go sit in the corner.

Story time…

This wine came from the
Paola store.

I passed it over several
times as I attempted to
keep my “bottle average”
down to something what wouldn’t
give rise to “corner time”.

Finally, I couldn’t resist.

I KNEW how good it was going
to be because I DISTINCTLY
REMEMBER having it at the
“elevator restaurant” on a
special occasion.

It is amazing how good one’s
memory can be when it comes to
things WORTH REMEMBERING.

Sheesh.

I think “describing” this
wine would be “irreverent”.

I wouldn’t want to be
irreverent.

…

In the days of milk
and honey, the fermentation
fairies descended upon
Earth and bestowed
greatness unto the grapes.

In an attempt to capture
the fairy essence, the
Earthlings bottled the grape
juice and discovered…

Obviously, some Earthling
fossils drank too much and got
carried away with their praise.

…

Day two…

This wine is like a daydream of
curling up on a lawn chair
in late September, lying in full sun,
and soaking up the last few
rays of autumn sun.

Oh wait a minute. That’s reality.

The wine was REALLY good too.

SP: Did you enjoy the warm
autumn days that we blessed
your planet with?
OTWN: Yes, I had the Adelsheim.
SP: Excellent. Why are you
wearing all those clothes?
Here, take my hand…

Butt, butt, butt,
what is the wine like?

It’s like a PLEASANT rebirth
experience.

A veritable…

SP: Why are you trembling?
OTWN: I just finished the Adelsheim.
SP: Open another bottle.
OTWN: No, I mean totally gone.
SP: Why are you HERE then?
OTWN: I had a heart attack
when I realized I couldn’t
afford to buy more.
SP: OK then. Go through
the gate, veer right and
take this chalice to the
first deva you see.
OTWN: Then what?
SP (looking toward
the corner): Move it.

Just stay in the groove I guess…

Hang in there.
