I like wine but I can&#8217;t really get into it.  Port and brandy and cognac on the other hand&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I think my favorite cognac so far is Remy Martin VSOP.  Hennessey is good, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be buying it again.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve only just scratched the surface of ports.  Right now there is a bottle of 10 year old Graham&#8217;s tawny on my desk.  Delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Been spending less time on FaceBook and more time on Google+ lately.  My entire online presence is mostly on Google&#8217;s services, so I&#8217;ve been migrating in the direction of Google+.

It&#8217;s still hard to resist.  Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>I still don&#8217;t want a BlackBerry mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p>Started new shift this month.  I&#8217;m still on a 4&#215;10 schedule.  I get off work at 11:30pm and my days off are Monday Tuesday Wednesday.  Yes, I have three days off in a row every week.  It&#8217;s glorious.  I never want to go back to working 5 days a week ever again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Liberty and justice for all&#8221; means EVERYONE&#8211;even people you don&#8217;t like or agree with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;m applying for jobs in Denver.
