I am holding a bottle of tequila shaped like a rifle. Your argument is invalid.
This is my favorite version of "Downtown Train."
I wrote a story!
When Miles the wannabe novelist sets out for his winey holiday in Sideways — the film that did for California Pinot Noir what E.T. did for Reese’s Pieces (kids, ask your parents) — he sets out from right here in San Diego. Why? Well, Rex Pickett (the guy who wrote the novel that inspired the film) might tell you that it’s because the book is based on a true story, and the true story is that he did a lot of wine-drinking while house-sitting in Ocean Beach. But who you gonna believe? I’ll tell you the real reason why: the story started here because it all started here. The wine thing.
Three bits from today’s readings.
“So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.”
“O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld; you preserved me from among those going down into the pit.”
“Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”

“Why?”
“Cougar power!”
“Cougars are so 2009.”
“Maybe, but print magazines are so 2004.”
“Point taken.”
