Golden Girls - The Next Generation

I think I'm on to something - cast Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes and Levar Burton in a new 21st century golden girls. In the pilot - we learn that Blanche (rue mcclanahan) had four sons - and they all turned out gay boys. You could film on the same set as the original. You could have cameos like Wil Wheaton playing one of Jonathan Frakes' ex-boyfriends. Think of all the great jokes! (really - post your favorite 'Golden Girls: The Next Generation' situations and jokes. You know you want to......

Beautiful Mini Cooper with moonroof, CD Stereo, leather seats. Brand New Manual Transmission. This is a tremendous little car! 

I am sad to see this car go - but having moved to the bay area with all the transit options available --- I just don't use it enough.

I'd like to see someone motor around in this adorable little car and love it as much or more than I do.

Simon Trpčeski - Live @ KDFC

Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski performed live in the KDFC studios yesterday - and just smoked up the keyboard!

• SHOSTAKOVICH: Symphony No. 8 in C minor, Opus 65

Wine Flight? - Oh! If I Must.....

My caltrain buddy Ned twisted my arm (no don't make me go drink no - - - oh, okay, if I must!!) to go wine tasting before catching our train - so we're well lubricated and on the 556pm train. We stop at District (http://www.districtsf.com) every once in a while and indulge in oysters and a delicious flight of red wine. (Boyfriend Dave doesn't "do" red wine - - so it's a nice treat)

My wine flight? This one was called "Big Funky Reds (Syrah, Grenache & More)"

• Chateau Astruc Syrah, Minervois, France 2008
  Aromas and palate of plum, fig, and dark cocoa. The finish is earthy, with medium body and moderate tannins.
• Vina Valoria Cosecha Tempranillo, Rioja, Spain 2006
  Aromas of cherry, berry, raisin and cigar box. Palate has hints of raisins with deep flavors of blueberries and plums. Dry and pleasant tannins on the finish.
• Domaine de la Cote de L'Ange, Cotes du Rhone, France 2007
  Sustainable. Award winemakers Jean-Claude Mestre and Yannick Gaspari. Spicy and smoky palate with notes of plum, blueberry, earth, licorice and lavender.

So now I'm heading south - and will take Miss Kate for a long Kateywalk(tm) to make up for being late getting home. Tonight's it is just the Goddess and me - with Dave off twostepping till all hours. SO - an extra long walk and some quality "kill the dragon" time is in order.
