Blah-Blah-Blahg: Food For Nought

Did You Know?
*25% of U.S. oil is used to make plastic products like straws. If neanderthals and nineteenth century Luddites didn't need them to drink, why do we? What if EVERYONE stopped using straws today?

Playing tag has recently become my favorite respite from the crippling morass (emphasis on the ASS) of my mind. Besides the fact that onlookers may think you're slightly wonky, it's surprisingly good exercise (your lungs will hurt, your legs may tremble), it's less self destructive and expensive than drowning your sorrows in alcohol, and doesn't leave the carbon foot print of a pack of cigarettes or a long, relaxing drive. Plus, you can't play tag without a smile.

However, alcohol is often an excellent companion and if you should want to enjoy its company in a thoughtful manner, try an excellent and relatively local, Napa wine; I am sadly surrendering my Pellegrino habit because of the fact that it travels such a long way to reach my local CostCo - I'm suffering from serious carbon emission guilt. However, with a wicked label and name, you've got to uncork a bottle of The Prisoner and experience this unlikely blend - Zinfandel (51%), Cabernet Sauvignon (23%), Syrah (12%), Petite Sirah (6%), Charbono (6%) and Grenache (2%). Purchase The Prisoner online, at Akasha in Culver City, or at The Wine House in West L.A.

Not into tag? Do you think drinking red wine during the summer months is gauche? Then BYOD - or bring your own dance.
