Robert Parker, the Deity of the Wine World

Here I am i the sunshine of the most famous man in the wine world. I got to meet him at Valentino in Las Vegas for a special wine tasting. He was charming, self-efacing, and completely down-to-earth!

Geof and Carlos Bernard (Almeda of 24)!

I think I should be able to get a role on 24!

What do you do when your dog gets dog tired from chasing a tennis ball? Well, if you're like Blackjack, you find the only mud-puddle within a hundred miles and you splash down in it!

The BBQ was smoking the bird, I wasn't! Injected with vermouth and Cointreau, smoked over oak and mesquite, we created a succulent Thanksgiving entree.

The fellow behind us at the Dodgers vs. Padres (Dodgers lost 3-1), had an iPhone. I begged him to take our picture and send it to us. The very next day I got mine!

Ripped more than a few lips on the Provo! What fun! And only 15 minutes from Dad's house in Park City!

The Pitch

We're heading into the playoffs. Spenser has been managing 3 innings of superb pitching a game. Add to this ferocious batting and incredible defense and you've got the makings for an All-Star player.

Speaking of which, he's been inducted into All-Stars; this means holidays like Father's Day will now be spent in places like Hacienda Heights and Clovis looking for restaurants as nice as Olive Garden in which to celebrate dinners!

Nothing like diving into a problem. Blackjack dives into everything: from swimming pools, the ocean, to a day at work with light scattering photometers!
