Rent - I'll Cover You

Yesterday, such a complete waste if i stayed home. Aivy, her cousin, and I went to Napa Valley to go visit some of the wineries around there. The best part for some alcohol fanatics out there would be the ability to drink and drive, but being out there it's formly known as wine taste jumping. We started out at Beaulieu. The best part is the complimentary tasting because Aivy's cousin, Phillip, is a wine expert that works at a casual restaurant in Downtown Disney. If I drank at all those different wineries, my first pay check would be spend and my total would be zero once again. After Beaulieu, we went to some other places where Aivy and I were stranded by Phillip. We went on a 1-hour tour of one of the wineries, learning how wine is picked, fermented, and aged. Next, we ate a 'cultured' restaurant, Pinot Blanc, where the meaning of the menu wasn't the only questions that were asked toward our tour guide, Phillip. The last drink I had over at Raymond, about four thirty, was the killer. I walked calmly to the restaurant to pray to the toilet god. blah!
The last winery that we went to was Domaine Caneros. Beautiful! It is like the chateau that Fox 2 used for Joe Millionaire. So many stairs, such lack of energy that I had. After all this, I slept peacefully, yet loudly in the car ride home. The greatest surprise was the LCD screen in the van. Aivy and I watched Garfield in Paradise, Peanuts Snoopy Gets Married, and the Peanuts 20 year Anniversary, I think that's what it is. We arrived in Hayward and went to go eat. Yummy Westlake. Thumbs up Bebeh. My bebeh and I spent the evening 'watching' television and 'reading' a book on Alcatraz.

Note: Joey, you've lived in SF for 24 years and you've never been to Alcatraz.
