A man can only take so much failure

On Friday, Rob and I went to see the movie Invincible. The theater was crowded and a large portion of the audience wore Eagles shirts. It’s the story of some Philly guy who is down on his luck and he tries out for a sports team. He makes the team and everyone loves him. Rob thought the movie was great. Apparently he remembered the whole incident. The only thing that I remember from the 70’s is a couple episodes of Fantasy Island. I would caution girls against seeing this movie. It’s really a guy’s movie but it is tolerable.

Saturday we went shopping and visited with Barbara. I helped her with her computer and she gave us a bottle of Leonard Kreusch Qualitatswein Liebfraumilch 2004. We went back to the donnavilla and I gave Rob a choice of movies to watch. “We can watch Steve McQueen in The Getaway, the original Wicker Man or Fellini’s City of Women.” Rob opted for City of Women but as I was about to put it in the DVD, I said, “We can also watch Viva Las Vegas, what do you think?” Viva Las Vegas won out. As Ann Margret shook her booty, we drank the entire bottle of Liebfraumilch! It was so good! Sadly, I think I might have passed out because I have very little memory of the movie.

This afternoon we went back to On the Border, the restaurant where we met! We had lunch. I ordered fish tacos and they were really very good. They tasted like Fish and Chips without the chips and wrapped in a tortilla. After lunch we shopped a little at the mall right next to the restaurant. We also went to Target. That’s about it. The weather has been very dreary and not at all cooperative to outside activities.

I think this is the last week I will be working from home. The Philly office should be ready by next week! Hooray!

    You’re probably gonna become diabetic from drinking a whole bottle of liebfraumilch. I really like most varieties of white wines, but that stuff is just too sweet for my taste.

    The only liebfraumilch I ever had was in Castle Wolfenstein 🙂
    All I know is when you drank it, the game said “It tastes good” (in text of course – it was the early 80’s before computers talked)
